Many students interested in psychology go on to pursue roles as licensed clinical social workers, counselors, or case managers, all of which typically require additional certification and specific educational backgrounds depending on the state.

For example, North Carolina education requirements for social workers highlight that a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW) is generally the minimum, while advanced positions may demand a master's in social work (MSW). The North Dakota education requirements for social workers also emphasize the importance of accredited degree programs and specific licensing exams.
