Academic Degree RequirementsPart III - Behavior Specialty

Research Competence
Each student must show proof of competence in research and its reporting. Students receiving the Master of Arts may choose to complete either a thesis or a comprehensive exam (written or oral).
Course Availability and Schedule
Since this is a clinical program, most of our students are presently employed in the field of psychology/social work; therefore, all courses have start times in the middle to late afternoon to accommodate student schedules. Course schedule by years of study:
Summers
In alternating summers, one of the following courses is offered: Research Psychology Option MA
The Research Psychology option is a two-year, 36-credit program. This program is typically full-time, but can accommodate students who wish to pursue the program part-time, or on other timetables. The following courses are required (24 credits)
*The following courses are electives: 12 credits required
- Up to 6 credits of 400-level courses. Choices must be approved by Graduate Program Director of General MA option.
Note
*It is strongly recommended that at least one of these courses be PSY 595. Applied Behavior Analysis Option MA
This master’s program is a three-year, 36-credit program. Please note, students can choose to complete this program at their own pace. It is not a requirement that it be completed in three years; however, it is expected that students will complete this program on a timely basis. Specific ABA courses within the master’s program will satisfy the academic requirements to sit for the Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®) exam. Students may choose to take some first year ABA courses during their second year because it may be closer to the time they sit for the BCBA® exam.
