Can you become a social worker with major in psychology?

Yes, a psychology major can be a strong foundation for becoming a social worker. While a social work degree (BSW or MSW) is typically required for licensure as a social worker, a psychology major provides a relevant and valuable background in human behavior, mental health, and development. Many social work programs welcome applicants with psychology backgrounds and may even consider some psychology coursework as transferable credit. However, you will still need to complete a social work degree to become a licensed social worker.
