The BSW Program at Oral Roberts University

Oral Roberts University graduated 4 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #550 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

38.9% 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 59.0% against 37.3% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $25,808 a year after grants and scholarships — $13,398 above the $12,410 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Oklahoma. 42.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
