University of Louisiana at Monroe

University of Louisiana at Monroe graduated 15 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #350 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

44.5% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (49.2%) than full-time students (39.6%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $13,648 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,363 below the $17,011 median across the 9 BSW colleges in Louisiana. 51.0% 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.
