Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Psychology in the USA opens the door to a variety of related online degrees and career paths, including specialized fields such as speech-language pathology. Many students with a psychology background explore this growing area, which requires additional certification steps depending on the state.

It’s important to research state-specific regulations before pursuing a career in speech therapy. For example, see Arizona speech pathologist certification requirements and learn about the distinct processes for becoming a speech therapist in Arkansas. Each state sets requirements for education, supervised clinical hours, and exams.

If you are interested in practicing in the western US, you should be aware of the California slp certification requirements, which can differ quite a bit from the becoming a speech therapist in Colorado process. Understanding these requirements will help you choose the right online degree program and plan your path toward a rewarding career in helping others.
