University of South Alabama

University of South Alabama's BSW program produced 20 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #292 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

42.9% 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.

The average student pays $16,074 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $16,074 median across the 15 BSW colleges in Alabama. 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.
