The BSW Program at Miami University-Oxford

Miami University-Oxford awarded 54 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #104 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 0.29% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

75.6% of students here finish their degree, against a national median of 50.4% across the BSW colleges in this directory — a meaningful margin. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (80.2%) than full-time students (67.0%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. First-time entrants complete at 80.3% against 69.7% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $28,229 a year after grants and scholarships — $10,385 above the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 15.0% 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.
