University of Mississippi

University of Mississippi sits at #75 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 66 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.36% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

58.9% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (63.0%) than full-time students (52.4%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $15,045 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $15,045 median across the 11 BSW colleges in Mississippi. 20.0% 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.
