| Abstract: The field of Behavior Analysis has been experiencing tremendous growth in recent years. While there were once only a few graduate programs in Behavior Analysis to choose from there are now many programs in existence, with more being established each year. With so many programs to choose from it can be a daunting task for potential students to discern differences between programs and determine which program is best for them. Graduate Training in Behavior Analysis Parts I - V will have directors and representatives from 20 graduate programs that will provide information about their programs and answer questions to facilitate this process. Some of the topics to be discussed include: Master’s versus Doctorate; student funding; time to complete program; practical experiences available; unique aspects of each program; and job placement of recent graduates. This will be an excellent opportunity for potential students to talk with faculty from various programs, ask specific questions about the programs while simultaneously comparing them, decide which one best meets their needs, and find out what they can do to improve their chances of getting accepted. This is a student committee sponsored event. |
