The College of Saint Rose

The College of Saint Rose graduated 15 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #348 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

45.8% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (50.0%) than full-time students (39.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. First-time entrants complete at 58.7% against 31.3% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $24,618 a year after grants and scholarships — $2,485 above the $22,134 median across the 30 BSW colleges in New York. 36.0% 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.
