The BSW Program at Maryville University of Saint Louis

Maryville University of Saint Louis graduated 18 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #308 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

52.8% 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. First-time entrants complete at 73.7% against 53.7% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $22,983 a year after grants and scholarships — $4,762 above the $18,221 median across the 18 BSW colleges in Missouri. 30.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
