West Texas A & M University

West Texas A & M University's BSW program produced 21 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #282 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

52.3% 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. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (61.5% vs 46.3%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $15,572 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $14,462 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Texas. 44.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants, a high share that usually reflects a student body with substantial financial need — and a financial aid office practiced at handling it. 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.
