The BSW Program at University of Toledo

University of Toledo conferred 37 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #184 among the 587 colleges nationally that award the degree. That is a mid-sized program — large enough to sustain a dedicated field placement office, small enough that faculty tend to know students by name.

48.9% 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 (54.8%) than full-time students (42.0%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $17,844 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 35.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
