The University of Pittsburgh Applied Behavior Analysis Certificate program consists of the coursework required for a national certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis issued by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).  This program is specifically designed for (a) students who already have a Master’s degree who wish to obtain a University of Pittsburgh certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis without having to enroll in a degree program; (b) students who are enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Pittsburgh other than the MEd in Applied Behavior Analysis who wish to include a certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis as part of or in addition to their degree program.  The program’s coursework partially fulfills the requirements to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Additional requirements include the possession of a master’s degree in an approved area, completion of supervised practicum hours, and successfully passing a national exam.
