Indiana Wesleyan University-National & Global

Indiana Wesleyan University-National & Global awarded 104 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #17 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 0.57% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

44.7% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (52.0% vs 32.0%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $16,523 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $16,693 median across the 21 BSW colleges in Indiana. 66.0% 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.
