This 18-credit non-licensure certificate is designed to increase the professional training of individuals responsible for designing, implementing, and monitoring behavioral treatment programs in schools, agencies (such as psychiatric hospitals), and training centers for people with severe disabilities.

The graduate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis may be pursued on a part-time basis only unless students complete the certificate in conjunction with the optional practicum or Masters in Special Education. With practicum or concurrent enrollment in the MEd the program may be pursued on a full-time basis. The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) now requires one of the following Master’s degrees in addition to the Post-Master’s Certificate: 1) education; 2) psychology; or 3) behavior analysis. Those not holding these degrees may not be eligible to sit for the certification exam upon completion of the course sequence. Please contact a CEHD Special Education advisor for questions regarding eligibility to sit for the BCBA exam.
