The BSW Program at University of Michigan-Flint

University of Michigan-Flint's BSW program produced 27 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #236 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

43.7% 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 (51.8% vs 38.7%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $7,852 a year after grants and scholarships — $9,696 below the $17,548 median across the 22 BSW colleges in Michigan. 48.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
