University of Connecticut

With 16 social work graduates in the latest year, University of Connecticut runs a small BSW cohort — #333 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.

68.7% 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 83.0% against 67.7% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $25,310 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,798 above the $21,512 median across the 8 BSW colleges in Connecticut. 25.0% 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.
