University of Wisconsin-River Falls

University of Wisconsin-River Falls awarded 13 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #384 of the 587 colleges nationally that offer the degree. This is a small program, which cuts both ways: cohorts are tight and faculty access is easy, but course rotations can be less frequent and specialization options narrower than at a larger school.

55.1% 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.

The average student pays $14,769 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $15,707 median across the 16 BSW colleges in Wisconsin. 26.0% 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.
