Elizabethtown College

Elizabethtown College graduated 7 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #478 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

61.7% of students here finish their degree, against a national median of 50.4% across the BSW colleges in this directory — a meaningful margin. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (67.0%) than full-time students (55.2%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $27,760 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,040 above the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 24.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants. 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.
