George Fox University

George Fox University awarded 13 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #373 of the 587 colleges nationally that offer the degree. This is a small program, which cuts both ways: cohorts are tight and faculty access is easy, but course rotations can be less frequent and specialization options narrower than at a larger school.

74.6% 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 (80.2%) than full-time students (64.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $32,171 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $30,985 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Oregon. 27.0% 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.
