Wright State University-Main Campus

Wright State University-Main Campus's BSW program produced 37 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #186 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

39.9% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (44.2%) than full-time students (35.2%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (51.0% vs 43.0%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $15,254 a year after grants and scholarships — $2,590 below the $17,844 median across the 38 BSW colleges in Ohio. 43.0% 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.
