Seattle University

Seattle University graduated 19 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #298 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

61.2% 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.

The average student pays $36,948 a year after grants and scholarships — $21,783 above the $15,165 median across the 10 BSW colleges in Washington. 27.0% 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.
