State University of New York at Plattsburgh

State University of New York at Plattsburgh sits at #106 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 52 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.28% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

71.2% of students here finish their degree, against a national median of 50.4% across the BSW colleges in this directory — a meaningful margin. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it.

The average student pays $15,412 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,722 below the $22,134 median across the 30 BSW colleges in New York. 46.0% 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.
