Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in psychology, there are several related online degrees and career pathways to consider—most notably social work. Earning a social work degree can open doors in counseling, case management, mental health services, and more, and requirements for becoming a social worker can vary by state. Familiarizing yourself with these differences is crucial if you plan to launch your career in a specific location.

For example, if you want to understand the requirements to be a social worker in Montana, you'll find that a bachelor’s or master’s degree in social work is typically required, along with state licensure. In contrast, the Nebraska social work education requirements have their own unique standards, including supervised experience.

Similarly, aspiring professionals should research the Nevada social work education requirements, which detail the required courses, hours, and certifications needed for practice. If you are considering the Northeast, review the steps for becoming a social worker in New Hampshire to understand the academic, fieldwork, and licensing expectations.

Understanding these pathways helps you choose the right psychology or social work program to match your career ambitions, ensuring a smoother transition to practice in your chosen state.
