Association for Behavior Analysis International

The Department of Behavioral Science at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway – offers a master’s program in Behavioral Science. The two-year, full-time program includes courses in experimental, conceptual and applied behavior analysis, is tuition free, Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI)-accredited, and Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB)-approved. The Department runs two bachelor’s programs with strong behavior analytic content (Bachelor of Psychology; ABAI-accredited and BACB-approved, and Bachelor of Social Education), and a Ph. D. program in Behavior Analysis. There are 30 doctoral candidates, 120 master students and 800 bachelor students in the department’s programs. Faculty to student ratio is high, and students from all levels participate in lab groups: Experimental Studies of Complex Human Behavior; Cultural Selection and Behavioral Economics; Applied and Experimental Behavior Analysis in Clinical Practice, and Experimental Behavior Analysis - Translational and Conceptual Research. www.appliedbehavioranalysisedu.org rates the master’s among its Top 20 programs. The program is currently offered as a Norwegian master. Applicants for the whole program sequence must be proficient in spoken and written Norwegian. Single courses can be adapted for English-speaking students, and we welcome applicants with knowledge of behavior analysis for these courses. There is opportunity for thesis work through participation in ongoing projects. We welcome students with good ideas of their own.

The master’s program in Applied Behavior Analysis and Clinical Science at Rollins College follows a junior-colleague model to ensure high-quality mentoring of students. Upon entering the program, students work collaboratively with all of the faculty in every aspect of professional development, including: professional networking, practicum site selection, designing and conducting research, presenting and publishing research, and goal setting with regards to further graduate study or job placement. For the thesis/capstone process in the final year, students are matched with one primary advisor according to research interests. This program will prepare students for either master’s level professional practice in applied behavior analysis or for doctoral level work in clinical psychology or applied behavior analysis.

Come stop by our poster and learn about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in Downtown Chicago! We offer MS and PhD degrees in ABA, as well as a Graduate Certificate Program. Our program includes a Verified Course Sequence and diverse practicum training opportunities. Our PhD program prepares students to teach and conduct research in university settings, as well as become lead practitioners, consultants, and supervisors in the field. Our programs provide a solid foundation in the science and philosophy of behavior analysis. We have faculty with diverse interests and expertise, and we encourage our students to apply behavior analysis and analyze behavior in novel ways. The school is located right on the river in downtown Chicago, easily accessible by public transportation. There are numerous opportunities to learn and apply behavior analysis, enjoy views from the river and downtown Chicago from the classrooms, and take advantage of all that Chicago has to offer!

The Behavior Analysis (BA) masters and doctoral programs at WMU provide intense training in the conceptual, basic, and applied foundations of behavior analysis. In addition to giving students substantial training in a core specialty area (e.g., autism and developmental disabilities, health or safety, behavioral pharmacology, experimental analysis of behavior), the program exposes students to a broad range of applied and experimental areas through coursework, research, and applied experiences. The masters program prepares students for doctoral study or employment at the M.A. level in autism/developmental disabilities, mental health, substance abuse, education, government, and business and industry. The Ph.D. program prepares students for roles as professors and researchers in college or university settings, or systems-oriented applied positions in the human services.

Montana State University Billings Master of Science in Special Education Advanced Studies ABA Emphasis Degree program earned a five-year accreditation by ABAI in May 2019. Montana presents unique challenges for teaching, learning, and practical applications being the fourth largest state in the U.S by square area but one of the least populated per square mile with mountains, rivers, and weather conditions that prevent face-to-face training for much of the academic year. For these reasons, MSU Billings has become an online leader and provider of remote supervision technologies. Accreditation has envigorated the university administration with plans for an on-campus clinic for children and youth in the community where our graduate students will be able to obtain practical experience in applied behavior analysis. Please stop by and learn more about MSU Billings - located in Yellowstone County!

This year marks the 29th Anniversary of the Behavior Analysis Program at UNR. We look forward to providing an overview of our program updates including the areas of training, faculty scholarly interests, application requirements for those who are interest in our Masters and Ph.D. degrees, and graduate funding opportunities. The update will reflect the following accomplishments: We were awarded the “Organizational Enduring Contribution to Behavior Analysis” by the Society for Advancement of Behavior Analysis in May 2010; the program has conferred over 40 Ph.D. degrees; the on-campus Masters program has conferred over 80 Masters degrees; the satellite Masters program has conferred over 100 off-campus Masters degrees in multiple national and international locations; our undergraduate training in behavior analysis received ABAI accreditation in 2016.

Caldwell University, a private liberal arts university located in a quiet suburban New Jersey community near New York City, offers a 90-credit Ph.D. in applied behavior analysis degree program. The core of the program consists of Caldwell University’s ABAI© -accredited 45-credit Master of Arts degree program in applied behavior analysis. Students in the Ph.D. program are required to complete a behavior analytic research dissertation mentored by a faculty member. The Ph.D. program prepares students to work in a variety of applied and academic settings. Caldwell University’s on-campus Center for Autism and ABA provides a BACB© -approved practicum experience, with both basic and applied research opportunities, while serving the community. New Jersey also boasts many successful private agencies and public school programs that work with Caldwell University to support training in behavior analysis and to provide additional practicum experience and employment opportunities.

The behavior analysis program at WVU trains students in basic research, theory, and applications of behavior principles. Students develop skills in the experimental analysis of animal and human behavior, as well as a strong methodological and conceptual background for developing behavioral technologies. The basic, conceptual, and applied areas are integrated in the curriculum; however, students may emphasize basic, applied, or both types of research.
