University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus

With 45 social work graduates in the latest year, University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus runs one of the country's higher-volume BSW programs, ranking #138 among 587 colleges awarding the degree. Program size matters more than it first appears: larger cohorts usually mean more field placement partnerships and a deeper alumni network in local agencies.

61.6% 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. First-time entrants complete at 73.3% against 55.5% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $18,574 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,164 above the $12,410 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Oklahoma. 24.0% 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.
