Applied Behavior Analysis, ADV CERT (E400)
(30 credits)
Manhattanville’s Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) programs leading to Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA) certification were developed to comprehensively meet the demand for professionals trained to design, implement, and supervise behavior analytic programs for individuals with autism and related disorders and students of all abilities.
This Advanced Graduate Certificate in ABA program aims to help students flexibly pursue examinations and state and national applied behavior analysis certifications entirely online, with full- and part-time options for completing practicum experiences.
Graduates of our ABA training are scientist-practitioners who can conduct descriptive and systematic behavioral assessments and provide interpretations of results of analyses. Students learn to administer and supervise behavior analytic interventions and to analyze the effectiveness of their educational and behavioral programs.
Note: This Certificate of Advanced Study program does not lead to New York State classroom teaching certification.
A Masters degree is required for entry.
