The BSW Program at Florida International University

Florida International University sits at #71 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 66 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.36% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

65.9% 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.

The average student pays $11,178 a year after grants and scholarships — $2,407 below the $13,585 median across the 14 BSW colleges in Florida. 47.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
