Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a degree in psychology opens the door to various fulfilling career paths, especially in counseling and therapy. One common route is becoming a marriage and family therapist (MFT), a role with growing demand across the U.S. Most states require a specialized graduate degree, supervised experience, and state licensure.

If you're considering this path, it's important to review local education requirements. For instance, you can learn more about how to become an mft in Richmond, or explore the Riverside mft education requirements for specifics in Southern California.

Online psychology degrees often prepare students for the flexibility needed to handle licensing requirements in different regions. If you plan to practice elsewhere, check the Sacramento mft education requirements or see detailed steps in the Midwest by reviewing the Saint Paul mft education requirements. Understanding these differences will help you tailor your education and training to your desired state.
