This program provides knowledge of autism and the skills necessary to meet some of the needs of individuals with autism. By completing the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) course sequence, students meet the academic requirements to sit for the national BCBA examination. ABA course work, including supervision and fieldwork, are specifically aligned with current BCBA standards and its corresponding edition of the BCBA exam. Standards and the exam are subject to change, therefore timely completion of the ABA course sequence is essential. Students that complete the remaining nine credits beyond the ABA course sequence will earn a MEd in Special Education.
