Mount St. Joseph University

Mount St. Joseph University graduated 2 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #577 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

41.9% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. First-time entrants complete at 52.0% against 41.8% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $17,094 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 45.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants, a high share that usually reflects a student body with substantial financial need — and a financial aid office practiced at handling it. 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.
