Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying psychology in the USA opens up a range of career opportunities, especially in the field of social work. Many students consider pursuing online degrees as a flexible path to their goals. However, requirements and pathways to becoming a social worker can vary significantly from state to state.

For example, if you’re interested in becoming a social worker in Ohio, you’ll need at least a Bachelor’s in Social Work and must pass a licensing exam. If you want to explore the requirements to be a social worker in Oklahoma, you’ll find that the state emphasizes supervised work experience and licensing at different practice levels.

In Oregon, the process is unique as outlined in this guide on how to become a social worker in Oregon. Similarly, if you wish to practice in Pennsylvania, it’s important to familiarize yourself with Pennsylvania social work license requirements, which detail the types of licenses and necessary education.

Online psychology and social work degrees provide a foundation for these careers, but always check your state’s specific licensure pathway before choosing your program.
