Is Social Work at Southern Connecticut State University Worth It?

Verdict: AVOID. The numbers do not work for Social Work at Southern Connecticut State University. With $34,080 in debt and only $42,000 in first-year earnings, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.81x puts graduates in a difficult financial position. Even by year five ($57,120), the earning power does not justify the cost. Look at this major at a less expensive school, or consider a major with stronger earnings potential.
