Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

If you're interested in studying Psychology, there are many related online degrees that can lead to impactful careers—especially within the field of social work. Social workers play a vital role in supporting individuals, families, and communities. To become a social worker in the U.S., each state has its specific requirements for education, field experience, and licensing.

For example, if you're considering this path, you may want to review the requirements to be a social worker in Washington, or see how expectations differ with the requirements to be a social worker in West Virginia. Each state emphasizes accredited degree programs—often, a Bachelor’s in Social Work (BSW) or Master’s in Social Work (MSW)—plus supervised training and examinations.

Learning about the Wisconsin social work education requirements or the requirements to be a social worker in Wyoming can help you better plan your academic path if you want to work in a specific region. Exploring online degrees in psychology or social work can also offer the flexibility needed to meet these state-specific standards while gaining practical experience.
