University of South Carolina-Columbia

University of South Carolina-Columbia's BSW program produced 33 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #202 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

61.2% 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 77.0% against 60.3% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $24,488 a year after grants and scholarships — $5,698 above the $18,790 median across the 6 BSW colleges in South Carolina. 20.0% 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.
