University of Southern Indiana

University of Southern Indiana sits at #111 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges by graduating class size, with 51 social work degrees conferred in the most recent year — about 0.28% of the 18,362 awarded nationwide.

43.2% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (48.2%) than full-time students (36.6%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $14,722 a year after grants and scholarships — $1,971 below the $16,693 median across the 21 BSW colleges in Indiana. 37.0% 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.
