Certificate Applied Behavior Analysis

Enhance your ability to work with individuals with special learning and behavior needs by earning your post baccalaureate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from the University of Colorado Denver. This certificate program prepares professionals to follow best practices for ABA in a variety of settings.

If you already have a bachelor’s degree, earning this certificate will help you to advance or diversify in your field. You’ll build your competencies in psychology and advance your skills in working with individuals with special needs.

The seven courses (21 credits) in the CU Denver verified course sequence meet the Behavior Analyst Certification Board®’s coursework requirements toward becoming a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst or Board-Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst. However, this program does not provide the supervisory aspects as required by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board®.

Admissions
