Explore the scientific study of behavior and behavior modification techniques through a Master of Science in Behavior Analysis. The University of North Texas offers a cutting-edge graduate program that provides comprehensive training in Behavior Analysis, covering: fundamental principles, theoretical foundations, research methodologies in both applied and experimental behavior analysis, strategies for implementing behavioral interventions in real-world settings, and hands-on practice across various domains including neuro-operant approaches, functional assessments, early autism treatment, animal behavior, academic instruction, and social equity initiatives.
Behavior Analysis examines how environmental factors influence individual actions. These scientific principles help interpret human and animal behavior, enabling practitioners to assist diverse populations in achieving personal growth and fulfillment. Applications span across multiple groups such as autistic children, individuals with developmental challenges, family systems, animal-human relationships, university populations, medical professionals, sports performers, and corporate leaders.
Our curriculum covers both experimental and applied behavior analysis, equipping graduates for doctoral studies or professional practice in multiple fields. Students gain thorough knowledge of behavioral principles while cultivating expertise in specialized areas, including dedicated coursework on autism spectrum disorders. The program meets educational requirements for Board Certified Behavior Analyst certification and features extensive practical training opportunities with various populations - from adults and autistic children to university students, language learners, individuals with special needs, rehabilitation patients, and companion/exotic animals.
