Ohio Dominican University

Ohio Dominican University awarded 4 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #549 of the 587 colleges nationally that offer the degree. This is a small program, which cuts both ways: cohorts are tight and faculty access is easy, but course rotations can be less frequent and specialization options narrower than at a larger school.

48.9% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (53.2%) than full-time students (42.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. First-time entrants complete at 52.7% against 44.7% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $21,032 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,188 above the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 49.0% 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.
