For those students who already possess a Bachelor’s degree and who are interested in only the courses specifically focused on autism spectrum disorders, we offer a 21-credit Certificate in Autism.
Autism and ABA Face-to-Face Requirement
Some classes require either synchronous online or face-to-face contact. It is AUT 578 Effective Collaboration. This course is offered in multiple weekend synchronous online sessions (5 per semester) or in week-long summer intensive models. Each year, AUT 578 is offered face-to-face in late July. Synchronous online options are available in multiple semesters annually, for both courses. Campus housing is available for the summer week-long classes at low cost.
