Behavior Analyst Certification Board Exam
The Behavior Analysis Certification Board® (BACB®) provides certification of behavior analysts who meet qualifying standards. Candidates must have completed specific academic coursework standards and supervised experience requirements. Candidates must also pass an international examination assessing knowledge of behavior analysis to qualify as Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).
A certificate or concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) at MSP provides students with the preparation sit for the BCBA Examination.
