Portland State University's ABA program is fully online and provides a Verified Course Sequence (VCS) aligned with the 5th Edition Task List as a non-degree option; or in conjunction with a master's degree as part of the Pathway 2 eligibility outlined by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®). In addition, the program includes a number of added curricular areas of focus, including an explicit emphasis on the use of Positive Behavior Interventions and Support, Telehealth/Technology, and use of behavioral supports within early childhood settings.
The Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) has verified PSU's course sequence toward the coursework requirements for eligibility to take the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® examination. Applicants will need to meet additional requirements before they can be deemed eligible to take the examination. Please refer to the BACB® for additional requirements.
