Needed: Human service professionals to fill a national shortage
If you’d like to be out on the frontier of a field facing a national shortage, where school children and adults struggle with autism and other developmental disabilities, and where the rewards are both personal and financial, it’s time to explore Ball State’s master’s degree in applied behavior analysis (ABA).
Whether as a teacher, psychologist, ABA therapist, or other human service professional, you’ll find opportunities in schools, hospitals, mental health centers, behavioral centers, and residential facilities where you’ll help clients improve language, motor, social, and reasoning skills. Doors to corporations and industrial settings are now opening where applied behavior analysts teach job skills and promote work performance.
Why Ball State’s MA in ABA?

We’re
one of only 27 online programs in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and South Korea with BCBA course work and just one of six online programs offering a master’s degree in ABA with the BCBA course work.
-
The 30-hour program is offered completely
online.
-
The ABA degree is housed within Ball State’s
Teachers College, which holds numerous national rankings and recognitions.
-
Ball State is accredited by the National Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (NCATE), the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and Indiana Teacher Training and Licensing Commission.

The Certificate Option
Another option to consider is enrolling in the graduate certificate in autism which, when completed in conjunction with the graduate certificate in ABA, can apply to a master’s degree in special education or toward a master's degree in applied behavioral analysis. Each certificate can also be completed independent of a master’s program for those who already have a master’s degree.
Mode of Delivery
This program is offered completely online.
