Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Master of Science

Objectives for students include: (a) applying their knowledge, understanding, and problem-solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within multidisciplinary contexts, (b) communicating their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning their conclusions, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously, (c) undertaking study in a manner that is largely self-directed (Association for Behavior Analysis International Standards 9-106).

In addition, a Capstone Research Project will provide student opportunities for originality in developing and applying ideas within a research context. The knowledge gained in coursework will be integrated into student practice in their chosen area of population specialization through supervised experiential learning.

Additional supervision for professional certification will be available to students at a distance using telepractice independent and group supervision during a second internship year of the program.
