Regis College

Regis College awarded 5 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #529 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.

72.9% 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. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (76.3% vs 60.0%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $28,575 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,716 above the $24,860 median across the 12 BSW colleges in Massachusetts. 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.
