The University of Texas at Arlington

The University of Texas at Arlington awarded 204 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #4 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 1.11% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

53.5% 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 $13,755 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $14,462 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Texas. 56.0% 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.
