Applied Behavior Analysis is the systematic application of principles of behavior to improve socially significant behavior. Our program strives to prepare competent, ethical, and professional behavior analysts who work with persons with developmental disabilities. Our high-quality, synchronous online classes allow you to get as close to an in-person experience as possible. Through the use of interactive, state-of-the-art learning technology, our professors and students come together for class sessions in engaging and interactive learning opportunities.  Our program allows working educators and practitioners to complete the course work and practicum requirements necessary to apply to sit for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Exam while continuing in their current professional roles.

Admission requirements

Undergraduate

3+
92+
We expect our candidates to have experience working with people with disabilities. In addition, we are looking for candidates who have at least six months of direct Applied Behavior Analysis experience (e.g., working as an ABA tutor or working as a paraeducator or teacher in a program that uses ABA strategies and methodology). Candidates with more ABA experience will be given preference. We do not have requirements regarding what field your Bachelor's degree is in, however, we do value your experiences in the field and will take them into account in admission decisions. If you already have a Master's degree, starting in 2022, the BACB accepts Master's degrees in any field of study.
