Sitting Bull College

25.7% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Full-time students complete at 34.8% against 16.6% for part-time, so the part-time route takes more persistence at Sitting Bull College. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (37.5% vs 19.3%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $4,281 a year after grants and scholarships — $11,303 below the $15,584 median across the 3 BSW colleges in North Dakota. 64.0% 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.
