Build a foundation in human behavior, development, and counseling theory — a strong first step toward behavioral health, HR, and further clinical study — through flexible online programs.
Psychology and counseling degrees build understanding of human behavior, development, and communication that applies across behavioral health, human resources, education, and case-management settings. Global Degrees's advisors help you compare accredited programs from our partner universities, evaluate transfer credit, and apply, free of charge.
Please note: working as a licensed counselor or psychologist requires additional supervised clinical hours and state licensure beyond the degree itself. These programs build the academic foundation for that path — the online degree alone does not confer a license to practice.
Availability varies by partner university and degree level.
