Longwood University

Longwood University's BSW program produced 27 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #232 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

58.7% 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 (64.8%) than full-time students (50.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $20,847 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $19,469 median across the 14 BSW colleges in Virginia. 34.0% 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.
