Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a degree in psychology opens the door to a variety of rewarding careers in mental health and social services. Many students consider becoming social workers, which requires careful planning based on your location. If you're interested in social work, it's important to understand the specific degree needed to be a social worker in Wisconsin as well as the degree needed to be a social worker in Wyoming, because requirements can vary significantly by state.

Another popular pathway for psychology graduates is becoming a licensed professional counselor (LPC). State licensure requirements differ, so it's important to research them early. For instance, the Alabama lpc licensure requirements outline the education and supervised experience needed in Alabama, while the Alaska licensed professional counselor requirements provide a guideline for those wanting to practice in Alaska.

Before choosing an online psychology program, review the career pathways that align with your goals and ensure your degree meets the specific state requirements for your desired profession.
