BCBA for Students with Masters Degree in a Human Service Field

Students holding a masters degree who wish to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst may satisfy the coursework requirement to become eligible to sit for the BCBA exam by completing a sequence of five courses listed below. The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) has approved the following five courses:
SPCED 609: Introduction to Applied Behavior Analysis (3)
SPCED 610: Behavioral Consultation (3)
SPCED 611: Advanced Applied Behavior Analysis (3)
SPCED 619: Professional Issues in Applied Behavior Analysis (3)
SPCED 660: Seminar in Verbal Behavior (3)

SPCED 609 is the prerequisite for the other four behavioral courses--which may be taken in any order, concurrenly or successively. The other two requirements to become eligible to take the BCBA exam are a master's degree in a human service field (acceptability of which is determined by the BACB) and the accumulation of BCBA-supervised field experience (for details, go to the BACB website: bacb.com ). The field experience may be accrued at any location where a BCBA is available to provide supervision and may commence as soon as the student has registered for SPCED 609.
