Ohio State University-Main Campus

Ohio State University-Main Campus sits at #9 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 154 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.84% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

65.9% 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. First-time entrants complete at 87.0% against 63.8% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $19,783 a year after grants and scholarships — $1,939 above the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 19.0% 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.
