The BSW Program at Millersville University of Pennsylvania

Millersville University of Pennsylvania awarded 71 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #61 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 0.39% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

48.3% 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.

The average student pays $20,551 a year after grants and scholarships — $4,170 below the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 28.0% 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.
