Applied Behaviour Analysis (Autism) Post Baccalaureate Diploma

The first program of its kind in Canada, the Post Baccalaureate in Applied Behaviour Analysis- Autism will enable students who have existing Bachelor degrees, and an interest in becoming an autism service provider, to earn a credential in Applied Behaviour Analysis-Autism at the post-graduate level. This program blends rigorous academic training and professional supervised experience; an opportunity not widely available. Students will obtain the required coursework and experiential component that would enable them to be eligible to write an exam for certification as a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst™ (BCaBA). Graduates of the program, who achieve BCaBA certification are able to work in a variety of agency or home-based teams providing services to families with children/youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders in partenership with Board Certified Behavior Analysts™.

The Post Baccalaureate in Applied Behaviour Analysis- Autism is not designed for students who have completed the Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behaviour Analysis as this is a duplication of coursework.

Applications to the program should be completed by the end of April. Successful short-listed candidates will then be contacted for interviews in the month of May. If seats remain in the program after the May, interviews, applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis. The start date for the diploma program is yearly in September.
