Overview
There is a great need for professionals with training in applied behavior analysis (ABA), and the number of open positions is quickly outpacing the number of credentialed professionals that are able to fill them.
University of California, Riverside’s Applied Behavior Analysis graduate program provides intensive instruction and supervised concentrated fieldwork in the use of behavior principles to support the behavioral health of children and adults. Taught by faculty with backgrounds in ABA, education, and psychology, the courses are aimed at individuals who wish to provide behavioral support services to students in educational and clinical settings, including special educators, school psychologists, paraprofessionals, and other behavioral health providers.
