Saint Francis University

Saint Francis University graduated 5 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #531 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

68.3% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (74.4%) than full-time students (62.2%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $28,326 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,606 above the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 25.0% 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.
