Graduate Behavior Analysis Programs

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) can be summarized as the use of scientific principles of human behavior and learning to facilitate socially important behavior change. ABA is useful in school settings because it enables teachers to more effectively assess and influence student learning or problem behavior. Through a combination of coursework and supervised practical and research experiences, students are trained in the discovery, translation, and application of knowledge toward solving human behavior problems of societal importance.
