Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Psychology opens up a variety of online degree options and career pathways—including social work, counseling, and mental health services. Social work is a common route for Psychology graduates, and requirements can differ by state. Understanding these education paths helps you choose the right program to match your goals.

For example, the degree needed to be a social worker in Vermont typically starts with a bachelor's degree in social work or a related field. In contrast, the Virginia minimum degree requirement for social workers is a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) for entry-level roles, while clinical roles require a master's degree.

Requirements can be even more specific. The Washington education requirements for social workers emphasize graduate degrees for advanced practice, and the West Virginia education requirements for social workers highlight the need for accredited programs and state licensure. No matter your location, pursuing an online degree in Psychology can be a strong start toward these dynamic and rewarding careers.
