The BSW Program at SUNY at Fredonia

SUNY at Fredonia awarded 14 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #367 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.

64.3% 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. Full-time students complete at 75.4% against 58.4% for part-time, so the part-time route takes more persistence at SUNY at Fredonia.

The average student pays $16,023 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,111 below the $22,134 median across the 30 BSW colleges in New York. 41.0% 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.

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