Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in psychology opens the door to a range of online programs and flexible career options in mental health services. Many students choose to continue their education to become licensed professional counselors (LPCs), which offers a fulfilling way to support individuals and communities.

If you plan to become an LPC after earning your psychology degree, keep in mind that licensure requirements vary from state to state. For example, you can learn more about the Georgia licensed professional counselor requirements to understand what's needed in that state. If you're considering moving or practicing elsewhere, research how to get an lpc license in Hawaii or find out about lpc license requirements in Idaho and lpc license requirements in Illinois.

Online degrees can help you meet educational requirements for licensure, while specialized tracks may prepare you for roles in counseling, research, or organizational psychology. As you consider your pathway, be sure to investigate the specific licensing criteria for the state where you plan to practice.
