Overview

The University of Nebraska Omaha's Applied Behavior Analysis Program trains students in a behavior analytic orientation to provide much needed services for children and adolescents, including those with behavioral and neurodevelopmental disabilities.

The MS degree is for those individuals with a bachelor’s degree seeking a master’s degree and a program of coursework and practicum leading to Board Certification in Behavior Analysis. There is also a certificate program for those individuals who already have a masters, Educational Specialist or PhD degree and wish to acquire additional knowledge and skills in applied behavior analysis.

Career

Coursework in the MS-ABA Program also addresses most of the content areas required for licensure as a mental health practitioner in Nebraska. Upon completion of the program, students interested in obtaining Provisional Licensure as a Mental Health Practitioner (PLMHP) will need to complete 2-3 additional courses not offered by our program. These courses may be taken through UNO or through other local universities such as Bellevue University.

Once these courses are taken, the student may submit an application for review by the mental health board of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. With the PLMHP, the student will also need an additional 3000 hours of supervised experience and will need to successfully pass a licensing exam to be a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) in the State of Nebraska. Practitioners holding the BCBA® and/or the LMHP typically work in clinical mental health settings, behavioral health community agencies, inpatient and outpatient clinics in hospitals, and schools.
