For the 2022 and 2023 calendar years, ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapps sitting for their board certification exams to become Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts® (BCaBA®) from USF's Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program have ranked number one in the country in terms of the percentage of ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapps passing their certification exam on their first attempt. This ranking encompasses current and former ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapps who have recently graduated from the ABA minor, the behavioral healthcare concentration in ABA, and the on-campus Master of Science program in ABA.
"This would not be possible without the dedication of our behavioral faculty, our talented doctoral ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp instructors, the support from the Department of Child and Family Studies, and administrative support from the College of Behavioral and Community Sciences!" said Bryon G. Miller, PhD, BCBA-D, an assistant ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp of instruction.
The ABA programs provide ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapps with the opportunity to seek board certification as a BCaBA® upon graduation. With this certification, ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapps can provide behavior-analytic services under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst®.
