This program prepares students to apply behavioral principles to solve performance problems in work, home, institutional and educational settings. Graduates may work in human service or business settings, or they may go on to doctoral training in one of a number of fields. The purpose of the program is to teach principles, theory and research methods of behavior analysis; teach procedures for systematic application of behavioral technology in applied settings and provide practical experience in functional analysis; in designing, implementing and evaluating behavioral applications; and in laboratory research. It is designed to enable students to follow either of two career paths upon graduation: Professional employment in the applied field: conduct behavioral assessments and behavioral interventions in human service or business settings, train employees in program interventions and conduct applied research in public and private agencies and institutions; or Doctoral study in behavior analysis: enter PhD programs at other universities to continue advanced study in applied behavior analysis or the experimental analysis of behavior.
