University of Maine

In the latest year of federal data, University of Maine graduated 31 social work students, placing it #213 of 587 BSW programs nationally. Cohorts of this size typically mean seminar-scale classes in the practice sequence rather than lecture halls.

46.5% 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 57.0% against 47.8% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $18,061 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $18,061 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Maine. 29.0% 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.
