Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

In the latest year of federal data, Kutztown University of Pennsylvania graduated 39 social work students, placing it #174 of 587 BSW programs nationally. Cohorts of this size typically mean seminar-scale classes in the practice sequence rather than lecture halls.

43.7% 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.

The average student pays $22,134 a year after grants and scholarships — $2,587 below the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 38.0% 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.
