Plymouth State University

Plymouth State University graduated 13 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #379 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

45.8% 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 (51.6%) than full-time students (38.2%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $20,183 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,065 below the $26,248 median across the 3 BSW colleges in New Hampshire. 31.0% 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.
