Applied Behavior Analysis Program

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a profession that applies the scientific knowledge of learning to helping people. Applied behavior analysts work with individuals ranging in age from infancy through adulthood and old age in settings that include schools, homes, day programs, communities, residential care settings, businesses and research laboratories. Hunter College's advanced certificate in applied behavior analysis includes an emphasis on applications of behavior analysis to individuals with autism. The ABA program will prepare students to develop, deliver, and evaluate the effectiveness of applied behavior analytic intervention for learners with autism. The advanced certificate program is approved by New York State and our coursework is approved by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board^®. 

Our Mission

The mission of the Applied Behavior Analysis Program at Hunter College is to prepare professionals to conduct applied behavior analytic interventions for the benefit of individuals with autism and to conduct original research designed to expand the scientific knowledge base of behavior analytic autism intervention.
