Southern Connecticut State University

Southern Connecticut State University sits at #159 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 42 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.23% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

50.9% 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. Full-time students complete at 56.6% against 48.4% for part-time, so the part-time route takes more persistence at Southern Connecticut State University.

The average student pays $19,827 a year after grants and scholarships — $1,685 below the $21,512 median across the 8 BSW colleges in Connecticut. 55.0% 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.
