Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Online psychology programs can open doors to diverse career pathways, including the fast-growing field of substance abuse counseling. A common route is earning a psychology degree, then pursuing additional certification or licensure, depending on your location. Different states and cities have specific requirements, which are important to understand before selecting your educational path.

For instance, those interested in becoming a substance abuse counselor in Long Beach or becoming a substance abuse counselor in Los Angeles must meet California’s unique credentialing and supervised experience standards.
