East Texas A&M University

East Texas A&M University sits at #108 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 51 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.28% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

48.9% of students complete their degree, close to the 50.4% median across BSW colleges nationally. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (60.8% vs 43.3%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $12,327 a year after grants and scholarships — $2,135 below the $14,462 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Texas. 68.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants, a high share that usually reflects a student body with substantial financial need — and a financial aid office practiced at handling it. Net price is the number that matters when comparing programs, not sticker tuition — and because most social work roles are with government or nonprofit employers, graduates are typically eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
