 Return to: Academic Programs of Study
For BCBAs who would like more specialization in the application of ABA to autism, and who seek more specific coursework in autism, the certificate in Autism is a wonderful choice. 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 also offer the 21-credit Certificate in Autism, although it is best combined with ABA courses for the full M.Ed. in Autism and ABA degree.
