University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus awarded 97 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #22 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 0.53% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

60.4% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (66.4%) than full-time students (52.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $24,696 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,852 above the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 22.0% 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.
