The BSW Program at Grove City College

Grove City College graduated 7 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #479 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

61.8% 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. First-time entrants complete at 87.0% against 37.0% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $25,289 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 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.
