Trinity Christian College

With 6 social work graduates in the latest year, Trinity Christian College runs a small BSW cohort — #511 among 587 programs nationally by size. Worth asking the department how often required practice courses run, since smaller programs sometimes offer them only once a year.

53.6% 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. First-time entrants complete at 65.0% against 40.3% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $19,655 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $19,006 median across the 21 BSW colleges in Illinois. 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.
