Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Interested in pursuing a psychology-related career? Many students explore pathways in social work, counseling, or mental health services after earning their degree. With the growth of online education, obtaining the necessary credentials for these roles has never been more accessible.

However, it’s crucial to note that social work licensure and degree requirements can vary by state. For example, if you plan to become a social worker, the Ohio minimum degree requirement for social workers mandates at least a bachelor’s degree in social work for entry-level roles. In contrast, the Oklahoma minimum degree requirement for social workers similarly requires formal education in the field and outlines varied pathways for advanced practice.

The social worker degree requirements in Oregon emphasize both accredited coursework and supervised experience, while the Pennsylvania minimum degree requirement for social workers highlights the need for state-approved education and exams.

Before enrolling in an online psychology or social work degree, carefully review your state’s requirements to make sure your credential will qualify you for licensure and future career opportunities.
