Online Bachelor of Social Work Tuition & Costs
Investing in yourself with a bachelor’s in social work prepares you for new opportunities and advanced earning potential throughout your career. As an online BASW student, you’ll pay the same affordable UK in-state tuition rate of $654 per credit hour no matter where you call home. Earn your degree from a nationally respected, CSWE-accredited program without the financial burden of high out-of-state tuition costs.
Bring your course credits with you to UK and save even more. Transfer up to 67 credits into the online BASW program to help reduce the total cost of your degree as well as your time to graduation. Social work scholarships, financial aid, military education benefits, and employer tuition reimbursement may further offset costs for eligible students.
