The BSW Program at Seton Hill University

Seton Hill University awarded 4 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #562 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.

49.1% 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. First-time entrants complete at 66.0% against 57.3% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $23,056 a year after grants and scholarships — $1,665 below the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 34.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
