La Salle University

La Salle University's BSW program produced 22 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #270 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

59.2% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (64.0%) than full-time students (54.0%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $18,069 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,652 below the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 55.0% 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.
