Fort Valley State University

Fort Valley State University's BSW program produced 20 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #285 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

38.7% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it.

The average student pays $10,047 a year after grants and scholarships — $5,272 below the $15,319 median across the 11 BSW colleges in Georgia. 80.0% 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.
