University of St Thomas

University of St Thomas graduated 13 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #383 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

48.3% 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. First-time entrants complete at 76.0% against 37.2% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $31,250 a year after grants and scholarships — $10,332 above the $20,918 median across the 17 BSW colleges in Minnesota. 29.0% 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.
