Applied Behavioral Analysis

The goal of the Advanced Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis is to prepare people to design, deliver, and evaluate individualized behavioral intervention. The aim of the certificate program is to provide practitioners with high-quality academic training in applied behavior analysis. To that end, faculty carefully integrate the practicum coursework experience with didactic coursework to provide a meaningful repertoire of behavior analysis skills and to help prepare professionals for the National Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Examination.

The certificate program is not a Master’s program, and thus, a graduate degree is not awarded upon completion of the coursework. The program is designed to fulfill the coursework requirements necessary to sit for the BCBA national exam (www.bacb.com), it does NOT fulfill the experience supervision requirements for the BCBA. You do not receive your BCBA upon completion of our program—you will have simply met the coursework requirements necessary to sit for the exam. Students (on their own) must research the requirements for the practice component of the BCBA.
