Saint Peter's University

Saint Peter's University graduated 2 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #9 of 10 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

48.9% 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 (60.0%) than full-time students (43.6%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $13,775 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,682 below the $20,457 median across the 12 BSW colleges in New Jersey. 66.0% 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.
