Seton Hall University

Seton Hall University awarded 14 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #394 of the 587 colleges nationally that offer the degree. This is a small program, which cuts both ways: cohorts are tight and faculty access is easy, but course rotations can be less frequent and specialization options narrower than at a larger school.

58.5% 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 (64.6%) than full-time students (49.3%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. First-time entrants complete at 70.3% against 50.5% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $33,896 a year after grants and scholarships — $13,439 above the $20,457 median across the 12 BSW colleges in New Jersey. 38.0% 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.
