Course Overview

You already know that behavior doesn’t have to be a barrier to success. Equip yourself with the degree that allows you to let the world know it, too. With the increasing demand for certified professionals who can deliver effective behavior solutions, there’s never been a better time to pursue your Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis.

Our College of Education's experiential program encourages you to apply what you’re learning right here, right now. The knowledge you gain through your studies and internship experiences will support the work you’re already doing, all while gaining the supervision hours required to sit for the national certification exam. Information about the coursework and current certification pass rate is available in the “Course Sequence & Pass Rate” section below.

Our behavior analysis approach intersects scientific methodology with an emphasis on personal investment. After graduation, you’ll know how to go beyond the data to build an emotional rapport with clients, clients’ families and the school systems in which you work to implement a holistic strategy to behavior modification.
