There areover 13,000 Board Certified BehaviorAnalysts (BCBAs) worldwide and thisnumber is predicted to rise given thatprofessional approval is seen as the keyto delivering high quality services toindividuals, families, in schools and inrelated settings. Furthermore, behaviouranalysis is increasingly being applied togeneral education, special education andorganisational leadership settings.This MSc is a highly interactive blendedlearning programme providing professionalsfrom a wide range of backgrounds withscientifically validated expertise that isapplicable to mainstream and special needseducation, inclusion, curriculum, learning,and pedagogy.This programme should be of interest toprofessionals wishing to become BCBAs,to those in the ‘helping’ professions (egteachers, speech/language therapists,occupational therapists, psychologists) andstudents preparing for PhD studies.Education at Queen’s – 2017 EntryThe Centre for Behaviour Analysis is wellconnected both locally and internationallyand unique project and employmentopportunities arise on a regular basis.CONTENTStudents may enrol on a full-time (1 year)or part-time (2 or 3 years) basis.

Professionals whoare certified BCBAs have the skills andknowledge to develop, implement andevaluate quality interventions that help toproduce positive behavioural changes in arange of settings.Typically, behaviour analysts work inthe ‘helping’ professions (eg teachers,speech/language therapists, occupationaltherapists, psychologists). Increasingly,jobs advertised for behaviour managers orspecialists require BCBA status and thereis a demand for BCBAs in Europe andworldwide, especially in North America.Teachers, as well as allied healthprofessionals, should find this degreebeneficial in their workplace.WHY QUEEN’S?BACB RecognitionThe Behavior Analyst Certification Board(BACB) has approved the six core modulesof this course sequence, which covers thecurriculum as outlined in the 4th Task List(www.bacb.com).Students who successfully completean approved course sequence, have aMaster’s degree and have fulfilled practicerequirements are eligible to take the BACBCertification exam and become BCBAs.
