ABA 886 - Qualifying Examinations

Qualifying examinations are designed to provide an opportunity for the student to demonstrate proficiency in two topical areas of study within Behavior Analysis, and a third examination required in the area of Research Methodology. The student, in conference with the Dissertation Committee, should define the two areas of the research and professional literature that are appropriate for intensive study. Academic competence in these areas may then be demonstrated by the completion of essay examinations, which are read and evaluated by the Dissertation Committee and one independent reader selected by the Dissertation Committee from members of the graduate faculty, or the fourth member of the Dissertation Committee as approved by the Van Loan School of Graduate and Professional Studies. This course is Pass/Fail.
