University of Saint Joseph

University of Saint Joseph awarded 8 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #466 of the 587 colleges nationally that offer the degree. This is a small program, which cuts both ways: cohorts are tight and faculty access is easy, but course rotations can be less frequent and specialization options narrower than at a larger school.

53.1% of students complete their degree, close to the 50.4% median across BSW colleges nationally. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (58.4%) than full-time students (49.5%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $29,300 a year after grants and scholarships — $7,788 above the $21,512 median across the 8 BSW colleges in Connecticut. 36.0% 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.
