The Masters of Arts in Applied Behavior Analysis at Southeast Missouri State University is an online graduate degree that prepares students to become practitioners of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) who work with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other neurodevelopmental disabilities.
This 42-credit graduate program includes 24 credit hours of course work and 18 credit hours of Intensive University Practicum (minimum of 750 clock hours).
Our courses have been designed to meet the Fourth Edition Task List ii, iii issued by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®).
BACB Pass Rates: Pass-rate data are not published for sequences with fewer than six first-time candidates in a single year or for sequences within their first four years of operation.
Unique Features
The program can be completed in 2 years with students taking 6-7 credit hours each semester for 6 semesters (including Summer). Most of the content courses are completed in the first year, which allows students to complete their fieldwork in their second year.

Internships & Career Opportunities
Students are required to take 3 semesters (Fall, Spring, Summer) of a 6-credit hour Intensive University Practicum. The goal is for students to accumulate at least 750 fieldwork hours over the course of those three semesters. Each practicum site must be approved by BOTH Southeast Missouri State University and the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. Students must work with their advisor early on to identify one or more appropriate fieldwork sites.
