BSC in AUTISM BEHAVIORAL STUDIES

The Bachelor of Science in Autism Behavioral Studies at Saint Joseph's University is designed to meet the growing need for qualified, professionally trained clinicians, educators and researchers.

WHAT IS AN AUTISM BEHAVIORAL STUDIES DEGREE?

Principles of teaching and learning

Understanding the population

Neurophysiology of the brain

Biological causes

Navigation of medical services

Health policy

Coping with the stress of a child or family member with an autism

Coping methods for direct service providers, long-term care, and ancillary services
