Lewis-Clark State College

Lewis-Clark State College awarded 43 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #147 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 0.23% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

46.1% 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. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (59.8% vs 41.3%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $15,917 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $15,917 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Idaho. 43.0% 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.
