BACB Required Content Areas of Study
All students entering the program will participate in graduate courses that meet the BCBA TCO6 Requirements. https://www.bacb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BCBA-6th-Edition-Test-Content-Outline-240903-a.pdf
Students must complete a core set of eight lecture-based courses (24 credits) and one required practicum (3 credits) to complete this certificate. The total program involves 27 graduate credits. The core ABA set of classes is based on the content identified by the BACB current task list. It also meets the requirements set forth by the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI). The students must have a “B-” in all of the courses to remain in the program.
Please note that the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB®) and/or the Applied Behavior Analysis International (ABAI®) can make changes to eligibility requirements for certification at any time. Current and future students are required to review information from the BACB and remain current with updates (https://www.bacb.com/bcba/).
In addition to the coursework, students are responsible for completing the fieldwork requirement set forth by the BACB under a supervising BCBA in order to be eligible for the BCBA exam. Please note that passing the courses and acquiring the hours will give you the opportunity to sit for the exam, however the BCBA certification is only earned after the student has passed the exam.
Students who are enrolled in this program are subject to the policies and guidelines of the School of Education Program as stated in the current Felician University Catalog and Student Handbook. Passing the BCBA exam is not a requirement for graduation.
