Students must complete all core, experiential learning, and project-based courses to successfully complete the program. 

Core Courses

Students enrolled in the program should pass Behavioral Concepts and Principles (CAEP 6326) and Ethics for Behavior Analysts (CAEP 6329) prior to registering for other courses unless otherwise advised. 

CAEP 6326Behavioral Concepts and Principles3
CAEP 6327Behavior Assessment3
CAEP 6328Single-Case Research Design3
CAEP 6329Ethics for Behavior Analysts3
CAEP 6341Behavioral Interventions3
CAEP 6342Consultation, Supervision, and Management3
CAEP 6343Radical Behaviorism and Verbal Behavior3
CAEP 6344Experimental Analysis of Behavior3

Experiential Learning Course

Experiential learning courses require students to have a site at which they are able to complete behavior analytic projects. There are additional requirements for students wishing to accrue supervised fieldwork hours through these courses. 

The semester prior to the onset of each of these classes, the director of supervision will connect with students to confirm arrangements of an adequate worksite to complete all required activities and meeting availability. It is the responsibility of the student to comply with all deadlines throughout this process, or they will not be permitted to enroll in the course.   

A grade of Satisfactory (S) is required for the following:

CAEP 8412Experiential Learning in Skill Acquisition2
CAEP 8413Experiential Learning in Behavioral Supervision2

Project-Based Courses

The project-based courses are designed to be taken concurrently so that students are guided through completion of a scholarly project. Prior to enrolling in Systematic Inquiry in Behavior Analysis 1 (CAEP 7412), students will work with faculty to plan for their project. 

CAEP 7412Systematic Inquiry in Behavior Analysis 11
CAEP 7413Systematic Inquiry in Behavior Analysis 21

Optional Courses

Students may elect to take up to two intensive practicum courses to fulfill additional supervised fieldwork hours. In order to register for these classes, students must complete all preparation tasks the semester prior to enrollment.  

These courses can be started during the student's second semester in the program. These courses may not be completed in the same term as experiential learning courses Experiential Learning in Skill Acquisition (CAEP 8412) and Experiential Learning in Behavioral Supervision (CAEP 8413)

Contact the director of supervision for additional information and preparation tasks. 

CAEP 8417Intensive Practicum in Applied Behavior Analysis 12
