Georgian Court University

Georgian Court University graduated 15 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #341 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

72.0% 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 (79.6%) than full-time students (59.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (70.7% vs 58.3%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $20,457 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $20,457 median across the 12 BSW colleges in New Jersey. 50.0% 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.
