Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring psychology opens doors to a variety of online degrees and career pathways. Many students find that adjacent fields like social work offer rewarding roles working directly with individuals, families, and communities. Social work is closely related to psychology, as both require understanding human behavior and fostering well-being.

To pursue a social work career in the United States, you must meet state-specific educational and licensing requirements. For example, those interested in supporting communities in Louisiana can review the Louisiana social work license requirements. If you plan to work in the Northeast, you may want to understand the requirements to be a social worker in Maine or the steps for becoming a social worker in Maryland. Massachusetts also offers unique opportunities, and those interested should research what’s involved in becoming a social worker in Massachusetts.

Whether you choose to practice psychology, social work, or another mental health field, online degree programs can help you develop specialized skills and prepare for licensure in your chosen state.
