University of Nebraska at Omaha

In the latest year of federal data, University of Nebraska at Omaha graduated 32 social work students, placing it #209 of 587 BSW programs nationally. Cohorts of this size typically mean seminar-scale classes in the practice sequence rather than lecture halls.

43.8% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (48.2%) than full-time students (37.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $13,662 a year after grants and scholarships — $5,043 below the $18,705 median across the 6 BSW colleges in Nebraska. 44.0% 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.
