Program Description

The Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) provides students with the preparation to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific discipline in which tactics derived from learning theory are applied to improve socially significant behavior. The science of ABA attempts to understand, describe, and predict behavior in an effort to acquire skills and reduce problematic behavior. The evidence-based technology of ABA is well established, with applications in multiple populations including autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, geriatrics, and treatment of individuals with challenging behavior. Behavior analysts work in diverse settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, mental health agencies, schools, homes, and residential treatment facilities.
