Applied Behaviour Analysis – Autism
The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Applied
Behaviour Analysis – Autism is a highly sought after and unique degree in
British Columbia. In fact it is the only baccalaureate program in Western
Canada that blends rigorous academic training and professional supervised experience
that results in graduates who are immediately eligible to sit for the exam to
become Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBA).
JOBS – Our graduates report 100%
employment in their chosen areas! Many of our grads successfully pass the exam
to become BCaBA level clinicians. With the prevalence of autism at 1 in 68
children, there is currently a shortage of trained BCaBAs to serve this
population. However, opportunities are not only in the behavioural treatment of
autism. Approximately 35% advance to graduate school in Applied Behaviour
Analysis and Special Education and others branch off into other areas where
their ABA training is an asset, such as law school, counseling psychology, and
teacher education training.
