Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Psychology opens doors to various career pathways, including the fast-growing field of social work. Today, many universities in the USA offer flexible online degrees in psychology, social work, or related disciplines—helping students balance education with work or family commitments.

Social work is a common career choice for psychology graduates. However, each state has specific educational and licensing requirements. For example, if you are interested in becoming a social worker in New Hampshire, you will need to complete a CSWE-accredited bachelor’s or master’s degree and meet supervised practice requirements.

Licensing rules also differ by location. Some states place more emphasis on exams or professional experience. For instance, the requirements to be a social worker in New Jersey vary from those in other states, as do the New Mexico social work education requirements and New York social work license requirements. It's crucial to research your target state’s criteria before applying to a program or pursuing licensure.

These related degrees not only empower you to enter counseling, social advocacy, or mental health roles, but also allow you to obtain specialized credentials and advance in your chosen field.
