University of Memphis

University of Memphis awarded 57 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #97 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 0.30% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

46.9% 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.

The average student pays $12,756 a year after grants and scholarships — $5,279 below the $18,035 median across the 19 BSW colleges in Tennessee. 64.0% 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.
