University of Akron Wayne College

University of Akron Wayne College conferred 21 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #281 among the 587 colleges nationally that award the degree. That is a mid-sized program — large enough to sustain a dedicated field placement office, small enough that faculty tend to know students by name.

14.2% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it.

The average student pays $6,983 a year after grants and scholarships — $10,861 below the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 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.
