Applied Behavior Analysis 
Online ABA Certificate Program

PCOM has two options for admission into the online ABA certificate program:

• The Certificate of Graduate Studies program requires a bachelor’s degree for admission.
• The Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies program requires a master’s degree for admission. This certificate is also available as part of the curriculum offered in the Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis program. Students may complete the Applied Behavior Analysis Certificate without matriculating into the MS in Applied Behavior Analysis program.

Both options offer the same coursework.

Upon completion of the certification program, students will have solid skills in the areas of comprehensive behavioral assessment, intervention and consultation.
