Roberts Wesleyan University

Roberts Wesleyan University conferred 20 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #289 among the 587 colleges nationally that award the degree. That is a mid-sized program — large enough to sustain a dedicated field placement office, small enough that faculty tend to know students by name.

48.0% 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. First-time entrants complete at 64.3% against 53.2% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $23,275 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $22,134 median across the 30 BSW colleges in New York. 40.0% 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.
