Hannibal-LaGrange University

64.5% 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. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (67.3% vs 51.0%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $22,685 a year after grants and scholarships — $4,464 above the $18,221 median across the 18 BSW colleges in Missouri. 33.0% 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.
