News FeedAdvanced Certificate in Behavior Analysis
SDSU's Department of Special Education offers programs with course approval from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® towards the BCaBA and the BCBA, as well as the Advanced Certificate in Behavior Analysis. Coursework is offered for individuals seeking both levels of certification.
Note: If you want to enroll at SDSU only to take the courses toward the BCABA or BCBA, you must enroll in the Advanced Certificate in Behavior Analysis. (If you want a certificate from SDSU, you must take at least 12 units.) Therefore, all candidates should enroll in the Advanced Certificate program.
