How this list is ordered

Programs are ordered by the median earnings of their Social Work graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only programs with a reported earnings cohort in the United States appear. The figure captures federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing. For 36 of the 421 listed programs the figure is the two-year completion median rather than the four-year one. The metric does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The gap between first-ranked Providence College and second-ranked CUNY Hunter College is $83, while the spread from the top of the list to the bottom reaches $53,022.

Job market context in the United States

The Bureau of Labor Statistics links Social Work to occupations such as Child, Family, and School Social Workers and Healthcare Social Workers. Across those occupations in the United States, the median annual wage is $63,404, and a quarter of workers in those occupations earn less than $52,283. Projections for 2024 to 2034 show about 72,100 openings a year, or about 337 openings a year for every hundred graduates, with more projected openings than graduates. Projections for 2024 to 2034 put employment in those occupations about 5.2% higher. Wages and top occupations exclude management occupations; openings include them. The ranking above uses graduate earnings four years after completing, not the occupation-wide wage figures, which describe the broader labor market.
