The University of Texas at Austin

The University of Texas at Austin sits at #32 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 88 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.48% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

77.5% 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. First-time entrants complete at 87.3% against 74.7% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $17,942 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,480 above the $14,462 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Texas. 26.0% 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.
