Fairfield University

Fairfield University graduated 3 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #558 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

80.4% 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. Full-time students complete at 85.8% against 77.4% for part-time, so the part-time route takes more persistence at Fairfield University. First-time entrants complete at 81.7% against 72.3% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $49,958 a year after grants and scholarships — $28,446 above the $21,512 median across the 8 BSW colleges in Connecticut. 6.0% 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.
