Professional Licensure Disclosure: Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis
Bay Path University offers graduate programs in applied behavior analysis (ABA) awarding the following degrees: Master of Science (MS), Education Specialist (EdS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The M.S. and EdS degree programs include a course sequence that is designed to fulfill coursework requirements for the student to be eligible to sit for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) certification examination through the Pathway 2 eligibility pathway. These programs also include the option for students to complete the fieldwork requirements needed to pursue BCBA®️ certification as part of their degree requirements. Some states require state licensure in order to practice behavior analysis in addition to BCBA®️ certification; licensure requirements vary significantly from state to state. Bay Path strongly encourages you to review the licensure requirements in your state. More information about state-by-state licensure requirements can be found here .
