Description of Program
The Special Education and Rehabilitative and Human Services department at East Stroudsburg University offers an Applied Behavior Analysis program. The Association for Behavior Analysis International has verified the program's courses toward the coursework requirements for eligibility to take the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® examination.

Additional requirements, including required supervised hours, are described on the BACB website.
BCBAs teach others to carry out ethical and effective behavior analytic interventions based on published research and designs that deliver instruction in behavior analysis. BCBAs supervise the work of Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts and others who implement behavior analytic interventions.
