Program Analysis
First-year earnings of $37,100 track close to the $36,554 national median for Social Work programs. This is a middle-of-the-road outcome on salary alone.
The financial case is thin at 3.0x — decade earnings barely exceed the cost of attendance. The value proposition here is driven by factors beyond pure ROI.
Some AI exposure exists in Social Work's typical career paths, with 24% of job tasks potentially affected. The pessimistic scenario still projects solid returns, with a 2% gap from the optimistic case.
Median debt of $21,500 represents roughly 7 months of the $37,100 starting salary — a manageable burden by most borrower standards.
Ranked #272 of 338 Social Work programs, Roberts Wesleyan University falls below the median. Stronger options exist, though cost and location may compensate.
