The Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis degree program will prepare students to become board-certified behavior analysts (BCBA®)*, working with individuals with impairments such as autism spectrum disorders, developmental disabilities, or traumatic brain injury.

First-time BCBA exam pass rates among Pepperdine graduates were 18% higher than the national average as of 2020. For more information, view the BACB exam pass-rate data. Pass-rate data are not published for verified course sequences within their first four years of operation.

Employing the practitioner-scholar model of professional training, a rigorous theoretical study is paired with in-depth clinical training where students will accrue experience hours working alongside professional behavior analysts, helping patients to develop adaptive skills for optimal functioning in educational, family, social, and occupational roles.

*As of January 1, 2023, the BACB will no longer provide certification outside the U.S. and Canada. If you are considering certification outside of the U.S. or Canada, please see updates about BACB global certification.
