Saint Elizabeth University

Saint Elizabeth University graduated 6 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #508 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

60.4% 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. Full-time students complete at 67.3% against 57.0% for part-time, so the part-time route takes more persistence at Saint Elizabeth University. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (78.5% vs 39.7%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $23,437 a year after grants and scholarships — $2,980 above the $20,457 median across the 12 BSW colleges in New Jersey. 65.0% 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.
