Tuskegee University

With 3 social work graduates in the latest year, Tuskegee University runs a small BSW cohort — #565 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.

81.8% 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 94.3% against 71.0% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $24,344 a year after grants and scholarships — $8,270 above the $16,074 median across the 15 BSW colleges in Alabama. 54.0% 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.
