Monmouth University

Monmouth University conferred 34 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #195 among the 587 colleges nationally that award the degree. That is a mid-sized program — large enough to sustain a dedicated field placement office, small enough that faculty tend to know students by name.

66.6% 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.

The average student pays $34,072 a year after grants and scholarships — $13,615 above the $20,457 median across the 12 BSW colleges in New Jersey. 31.0% 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.
