The BSW Program at Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion

In the latest year of federal data, Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion graduated 33 social work students, placing it #200 of 587 BSW programs nationally. Cohorts of this size typically mean seminar-scale classes in the practice sequence rather than lecture halls.

53.0% of students complete their degree, close to the 50.4% median across BSW colleges nationally. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Full-time students complete at 62.0% against 47.2% for part-time, so the part-time route takes more persistence at Indiana Wesleyan University-Marion. First-time entrants complete at 70.0% against 53.2% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $23,402 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,709 above the $16,693 median across the 21 BSW colleges in Indiana. 32.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
