University of Missouri-Columbia

University of Missouri-Columbia's BSW program produced 27 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #237 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

62.9% of students here finish their degree, against a national median of 50.4% across the BSW colleges in this directory — a meaningful margin. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (68.8%) than full-time students (53.2%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. First-time entrants complete at 70.3% against 61.2% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $22,169 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,948 above the $18,221 median across the 18 BSW colleges in Missouri. 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.
