The undergraduate applied behavior analysis major is a unique program designed to provide knowledge and skills in preparation for graduate study or careers that employ applications of the concepts and principles of behavior analysis. On graduation, applied behavior analysis majors will have satisfied all knowledge and experience requirements necessary for admission to the examination for Associate Certification in Behavior Analysis® (BCaBA®) by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB®).
Graduates of this program may pursue immediate certification as associate level behavior analysts to work in agencies and systems. Graduates will have the requisite course and experiential background to pursue application for graduate study in behavior analysis.
Degree Requirements
Candidates for a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behavior Analysis must successfully complete 120 credit hours as indicated in the curriculum below.

Total Credits Required: 120
*The Restricted Elective (foreign language) requires two semesters of a foreign language other than a student’s home language. Restricted Elective (COM) may be satisfied by any COM 2000-level or higher, foreign language or linguistics course. No courses with the prefix PSY or PSF, other than PSY 2444 , can be used as the Social Science Elective. Humanities and social science electives must be at the 2000-level or higher. Restricted Elective (science) may be any science course.
Experiential Requirements
Because graduates of the program will also fulfill the requirements of the Behavior Analysis Certification Board for the Associate Certificate in Behavior Analysis (BCaBA), 1,000 hours of combined fieldwork and supervised practicum experience must be earned during the program. Typically, students will be engaged in supervised fieldwork or practicum continuously once they enter the fall semester of the junior year. Because of potential limitations on placements for supervision, students should be prepared to register for supervised field placements during the summer semester before the senior year.
