The BSW Program at University of Indianapolis

University of Indianapolis's BSW program produced 22 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #271 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

51.0% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (59.0%) than full-time students (41.6%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $22,662 a year after grants and scholarships — $5,969 above the $16,693 median across the 21 BSW colleges in Indiana. 49.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
