Solve Socially ImportantProblems and ImproveOutcomesYour Path toBecoming aBoard CertifiedBehavior AnalystA BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYST (BCBA) is an independent practitioner who conductsbehavioral assessments, interprets the results of behavioral assessments, and designs behavioralinterventions for clients in a variety of fields. A BCBA may also supervise BCaBAs (behavior analystscertified at the Bachelor’s degree level), registered behavior technicians (RBTs), and studentswishing to gain supervised fieldwork experience. To become a BCBA, you must hold a master’sdegree, complete a number of graduate courses in ABA, gain up to 2,000 fieldwork experiencehours (with supervision by a BCBA), and pass a certification exam. A BCBA must obtain continuingeducation to maintain certification and, to practice in Massachusetts, must be licensed as an AppliedBehavior Analyst (some exceptions may apply). Assumption’s ABA course sequence meets theBehavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB) requirements for eligibility to take the Board CertifiedBehavior Analyst Examination . Applicants may need to meet additional requirements to qualify.MASTER OF ARTS (M.A.) IN APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSISCERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED GRADUATE STUDY (C.A.G.S.)IN APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSISWelcome to the ABA programs at Assumption University.

You will have the skillsnecessary to create meaningfulimprovements in the lives of yourclients and their families. We lookforward to accompanying you onthis exciting journey.Programs at Assumption University is to preparestudents to be well-rounded behavior analystswho excel at applying their knowledge of thescience of behavior in a variety of settings.The program accomplishes this throughcomprehensive coursework in the applied,basic, and conceptual branches of behavioranalysis and related fields. We teach evidence-based approaches to assessment and treatmentthat are widely applicable and based on firmlyestablished behavioral principles. The courseworkis integrated with a practicum series to providestudents with multiple opportunities to developcompetencies in skills related to behavior-analyticservice delivery and research. The programteaches students to effectively work with and trainstaff, parents, and caregivers and to collaboratewith other service providers in order to maximizeclient outcomes while remaining in harmony withthe core conceptual and ethical tenants of thefield. As a result, students become adept at criticalthinking and are formed as contributing membersto both the wider discipline of behavior analysisand the communities they serve.
A RewardingHigh-DemandCareerAPPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA)is the science of learning and behavior usedin order to solve socially significant problems(to influence changes in behavior that aremeaningful to individuals and those aroundthem). ABA emphasizes the influence of theenvironment in behavior change and involvesdirect observation of behavior, data collectionand analysis, and systematic changes to theenvironment in order to understand the causeof socially significant behavior and improve thatbehavior. By first understanding the cause, weare able to develop more effective, long-lastingand socially acceptable methods of changing ourDiverse Career Path OptionsWith a Master of Arts in AppliedBehavior Analysis from AssumptionUniversity, your career path optionsare diverse. ABA is the only evidencebased intervention available forindividuals with autism spectrumdisorder (ASD). Given the increase inthe number of individuals diagnosedwith ASD, it is likely that most people,in any career, will be requiredto work with or provide servicesfor individuals on the spectrum.Completing coursework in ABA willtherefore be relevant for studentswho will be working with individualswith ASD in a wide variety of settings.The most common association withABA is working with children withASD and other developmental andintellectual disabilities, and ourprograms prepare students to dothat. In addition, there are manyother fields where the interventionsand teaching procedures basedon ABA have an impact. An ABAdegree is relevant in clinicalpsychology,behavioral medicine,counseling, job effectiveness, sportstraining, environmental protection,education, exercise and health,business, criminology, and otherareas.

PracticumFieldwork is an essential part oftraining to become an appliedbehavior analyst because it allowsyou to develop the competenciesyou need to accurately assessbehavior and develop successfulinterventions for your clients.Fieldwork experience is gained byworking or volunteering in naturalenvironment settings in which youcan use ABA when working withpeople. One benefit of Assumption’sABA program is that it includesrequired practicum classes thatallow students to obtain supervisionof all of their fieldwork hours priorto graduation. There are certainfieldwork requirements that need tobe met to apply for licensure and tosit for the BCBA exam. These includeworking at a site that allows you towork with more than one person,working a minimum of 20 hours permonth related to behavior analysis;being supervised by a BCBA whohas completed supervisor training,Certificate of AdvancedGraduate StudyFieldwork standard.

Students will be introduced to thescientific study of learning with an emphasison how behavior changes as a function ofexperience. Historical and current perspectives on a range of topics, including (but notlimited to) classical conditioning, operantconditioning, innate behavior, and philo-sophical assumptions about behavior willbe examined. Finally, how the basic learn-ing principles are relevant to everyday behavior will be discussed.
