Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in psychology opens up various online degree options and career pathways, especially for students interested in social work and human services. Many states have specific educational requirements for those who wish to become licensed social workers.

For example, the Kentucky minimum degree requirement for social workers typically involves at least a bachelor’s degree in social work, but more advanced roles often require a master’s degree. Similarly, the social worker education requirements in Louisiana emphasize the completion of accredited programs, with higher positions requiring additional certification or graduate-level study.

Other states, like Maine, have their own standards; see the social worker education requirements in Maine for details on the credentials needed. Maryland also sets specific criteria explained in the social worker degree requirements in Maryland.

When planning your academic journey or online studies in psychology, consider these state-specific requirements to help guide your career aspirations, especially if social work is your goal.
