Masters Degree


Students pursuing a master's degree in behavior analysis may choose either of two courses of study. Students whose goal is to pursue doctoral training after completing their master's degree usually choose the general/research concentration, which requires additional research experience. Students choosing the applied concentration are those whose goal is to practice behavior analysis as professionals. Upon graduation they will consult with individuals, families, agencies or businesses regarding learning and performance improvements as well as train and supervise staff working with children and adults in a variety of settings.

Financial support is available in a variety of forms. University-wide scholarships, loans, work study and other financial aid can be applied for through Financial Aid. The department awards 1 or 2 Whaley scholarships of $1,000 in most years. Teaching fellowships are available for students who have worked in the department’s TF/TA program for 1 year. Research and teaching assistantships are funded through individual faculty grants and field programs.
