58.4% 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.
The average student pays $18,252 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,469 below the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 35.0% 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.
