University of Maine at Presque Isle

University of Maine at Presque Isle graduated 3 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #567 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

42.9% 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. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (58.5% vs 38.7%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $8,526 a year after grants and scholarships — $9,535 below the $18,061 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Maine. 52.0% 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.
