Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a degree in psychology opens the door to numerous rewarding careers, with social work being a popular and impactful path. Many states have specific education and licensure requirements for aspiring social workers. For example, Mississippi social work education requirements include earning an accredited degree and passing state-specific exams.

If you’re interested in practicing in the Midwest, you should familiarize yourself with the requirements to be a social worker in Missouri, which detail which degrees are accepted and the licensing process. Similarly, those exploring options in the northern states can review Montana social work license requirements to learn about supervised practice and exam expectations.

Students considering the Great Plains may want to research what’s involved in becoming a social worker in Nebraska, including degree, practicum, and background check requirements. Online degrees can provide flexible options for students who need to balance education with other commitments while still meeting all state requirements for future licensure.
