Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College

Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College's BSW program produced 28 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #226 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

51.5% 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 (55.4%) than full-time students (46.6%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. First-time entrants complete at 67.7% against 54.5% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $21,430 a year after grants and scholarships — $4,419 above the $17,011 median across the 9 BSW colleges in Louisiana. 35.0% 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.
