The BSW Program at Ohio State University-Lima Campus

Ohio State University-Lima Campus graduated 15 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #344 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

25.3% 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.

The average student pays $12,862 a year after grants and scholarships — $4,982 below the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 39.0% 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.
