The BSW Program at University of North Carolina at Charlotte

University of North Carolina at Charlotte sits at #41 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 80 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.44% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

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.

The average student pays $15,045 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $15,045 median across the 23 BSW colleges in North Carolina. 34.0% 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.
