World Mission University

With 11 social work graduates in the latest year, World Mission University runs a small BSW cohort — #412 among 587 programs nationally by size. Worth asking the department how often required practice courses run, since smaller programs sometimes offer them only once a year.

62.1% 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. Full-time students complete at 87.6% against 41.0% for part-time, so the part-time route takes more persistence at World Mission University. First-time entrants complete at 75.0% against 55.8% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $15,785 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $15,523 median across the 25 BSW colleges in California. 100.0% 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.
