University of Louisville

University of Louisville sits at #107 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 52 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.28% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

48.8% 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. First-time entrants complete at 60.3% against 50.2% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $19,785 a year after grants and scholarships — $5,355 above the $14,431 median across the 14 BSW colleges in Kentucky. 40.0% 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.
