在这里学什么？

The Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program is designed to provide advanced graduate-level training for students who have strong and well-defined interests in the scientific study of behavioral principles as applied to individuals and organizations. In this 2-year program, students can obtain their M.S. degree and complete the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB®) requirements to be able to practice independently as Board Certified Behavior Analysts®. We emphasize the philosophy, theory, science and methodology that guide clinicians in the field of ABA. Students of the program will learn how to conduct behavioral assessments and to design, implement and monitor outcome-based interventions, while adhering to BACB® ethical and professional guidelines. The coursework incorporates practical training with a focus on a conceptual understanding of the science of ABA. The breadth and scientific rigor of this program provides students with the foundation necessary to pursue careers as scientist-practitioners and to become competitive candidates for doctoral training. This program is offered in a cohort model, with sequentially advancing coursework, in collaboration with The Tseng College of Extended Learning.
