Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in psychology opens many doors beyond traditional practice. Social work is one of the most popular pathways for psychology graduates, and requirements can vary widely by state. If you’re considering this field, it’s important to understand the educational standards where you plan to work.

For example, students interested in practicing in the Northwest can review the Washington education requirements for social workers. Those exploring options in the Appalachian region should examine the social worker degree requirements in West Virginia.

The Midwest and the Mountain West also have their own regulations. It's best to check the Wisconsin education requirements for social workers and the Wyoming education requirements for social workers for further details.

Each state sets specific standards for licensure, degree level, and supervised fieldwork. Carefully reviewing these requirements—often available through online degree programs—ensures you’re on the right path toward a fulfilling career in psychology or social work.
