Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Earning a degree in psychology opens doors to a wide array of rewarding careers. Many students choose to pursue roles that allow them to directly help others, with one fast-growing option being speech-language pathology. Becoming a speech-language pathologist requires a specialized educational track, but several online degrees can provide a solid foundation.

If you are interested in this path, it’s important to research both national standards and state-specific requirements. For example, you can learn how to become a speech language pathologist in Maine, understand the slp requirements in Maryland, read more about how to become a speech language pathologist in Massachusetts, or get familiar with the Michigan speech pathologist certification requirements.

Many online psychology degrees offer coursework in human development, communication, and behavior—subjects that are highly relevant to speech-language pathology. Exploring these pathways can help you map out further study and certification opportunities in the psychology and allied health fields.
