The BSW Program at University of New Hampshire-Main Campus

In the latest year of federal data, University of New Hampshire-Main Campus graduated 36 social work students, placing it #197 of 587 BSW programs nationally. Cohorts of this size typically mean seminar-scale classes in the practice sequence rather than lecture halls.

67.5% 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 (73.5%) than full-time students (59.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. First-time entrants complete at 77.0% against 58.2% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $24,999 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $26,248 median across the 3 BSW colleges in New Hampshire. 19.0% 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.

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