The Department of Psychological Science provides a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Certificate program. Participants in this program will undertake coursework covering applied behavior analysis, research methodology, behavioral evaluation, intervention strategies, supervisory practices, and ethical considerations. This graduate-level program welcomes both students with and without existing master's degrees. Those holding a master's degree can enroll in the BCBA certificate program independently, while students without a graduate degree may apply concurrently to either the clinical psychology or experimental psychology master's programs alongside the BCBA certification. Clinical psychology students accepted into both programs will fulfill their clinical requirements alongside the seven specified BCBA courses. Experimental psychology students admitted to both programs can incorporate most BCBA coursework as electives within their degree curriculum.
