Online Programs
The fully online Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) MS program is designed to prepare clinician-researchers to apply the science of human behavior and learning to a variety of populations and settings with particular emphasis on meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities in educational, home, and clinical settings.
The core graduate education research methodology courses serve all graduate students in the COE and provide core content in methodology and statistics to both masters and doctoral level students. Your academic program may offer more specific methodology courses that follow or accompany your EDUC sequence.
The sequence begins with a broad overview of research methodologies, including the four major methodologies used in the COE: quantitative, qualitative, single subject, and program evaluation methods.
