The career website recently ranked 精东AV鈥檚 social work program fifth among the 69 undergraduate programs it evaluated at public and private institutions throughout Alabama. It is the only program in the top five based at a private institution, or a historically black college or university.

To determine its ranking, Zippa.com assessed data available through the National Center for Education Statistics and College Scorecard data from ED.gov to understand which social work programs in Alabama offer the best career opportunities. This included data on program admissions, enrollment and graduation rates; the cost of enrollment and average student debt; program reputation; and graduates鈥� employability and mean earnings.

This analysis produced a 鈥淪ocial Work Quality Index,鈥� which determined the website鈥檚 top five social work programs in Alabama.
