Applied Behavior Analysis
Join us in July 2028
The Psychology Department at SJSU is proud to introduce our new Master of Science program in Applied Behavior Analysis. This program will provide science-based, practice-focused, neurodiversity-oriented training that prepares students for credentialing and professional practice as Board Certified Behavior Analysts*. Graduates will be prepared for high-impact, in-demand careers in schools, autism service organizations, community behavioral health, and other settings.
Built around the needs of working students and adult learners of all ages, this 18-month, 36-credit program will put students on a direct path toward their professional goals and next career stage.
We look forward to welcoming our first cohort of students to begin in Summer 2028. Applications will open in October 2027.
