University of Vermont

In the latest year of federal data, University of Vermont graduated 25 social work students, placing it #248 of 587 BSW programs nationally. Cohorts of this size typically mean seminar-scale classes in the practice sequence rather than lecture halls.

67.7% 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 76.3% against 66.7% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $20,084 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $20,084 median across the 3 BSW colleges in Vermont. 14.0% 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.
