Applied Behavior Analysis - 5 Year (Bachelor/Master)

The 5th Year Program in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) was developed as an option for Endicott graduates to complete a Master’s Degree in an accelerated format, and, at the same time, to complete both the educational and experiential requirements to sit for the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) examination offered through the Behavior Analysis Certification Board.

Endicott graduates can waive up to two elective courses from the below curriculum if they have taken one or more of the following courses during their undergraduate education: ABA 280 Introduction to the Basic Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, ABA 310 Assessment in Behavior Analysis, ABA 332 Advanced Topics in Behavior Analysis, ABA 145 Introduction to Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Non-Endicott graduates are required to complete the total required 36 credits. 

The required coursework and practicum experiences begin during the student’s first post-graduate summer term, with all requirements completed within a 15 month time period. The following conditions apply for a student who completes a Bachelor’s degree from Endicott College:

• Waive the GRE/MAT Application Requirement
• Maintain a 3.0 GPA through their undergraduate course of study
• Complete the application process for admission into the Institute for Behavioral Studies by the beginning of the Spring semester of their Senior year.
