Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Psychology can open the door to a variety of fulfilling online career pathways, including roles in social work. Each state sets its own minimum degree requirements for social workers, and these often influence your options as a Psychology graduate.

For instance, those interested in working in the Northeast should be aware of the New Jersey minimum degree requirement for social workers as well as the New York education requirements for social workers. Both states typically require at least a bachelor’s degree, but often a Master of Social Work (MSW) is necessary for advanced positions and licensure.

If you’re considering work in other regions, it’s important to review the North Carolina education requirements for social workers and the social worker degree requirements in New Mexico. Similar patterns emerge, with an undergraduate degree serving as the baseline, but advanced practice and licensure often requiring a graduate degree.

As online education grows, accredited programs now offer Psychology and social work degrees that can meet licensure requirements in many states. Be sure to check state-specific guidelines before choosing your pathway.
