Program Highlights
BCBA®certification
To qualify, you must obtain a graduate degree, complete behavior-analytic coursework and supervised fieldwork, and pass the BCBA examination. Our graduates who sat for the BCBA examination in 2020 had a 100% first-time pass rate.
Meeting certification requirements
Students interested in pursuing BCBA credentialing are required to complete supervised fieldwork independent of our certificate program. You can complete the supervised experiences during your studies or after obtaining your certificate.
Program requirements
The post-master’s Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis prepares you for a career as a BCBA® in school and behavioral health settings.

Our program includes a course sequence verified by the Association of Behavior Analysis International (ABAI).
Engaged and dedicated faculty
Our full-time faculty are dually credentialed as BCBAs and school psychologists and have extensive clinical experience.
