Applied Behavior Analysis Dual Degree Program

One application, two degrees in Applied Behavior Analysis, a lifetime of helping others.

Why Study Applied Behavior Analysis?

The Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program will prepare you for a rewarding career as an applied behavior analyst, and graduates of our programs are well-prepared for both clinical and research-based positions. Our programs teach the science of behavior, which is essential for individuals interested in autism, general and special education, developmental and intellectual disabilities, social work and related fields.

What is a Dual Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis?

With just one application, you can earn two degrees (bachelor’s and master’s) in the ABA field. It’s that simple. When you apply as a high school senior into the dual degree program with one application, you also benefit from being considered for a $2,500 Dual Degree Scholarship (per year for your 4 undergraduate years). You will also be considered for a 10% Alumni Discount for every term you are enrolled at least part-time in your graduate program at Assumption.

Dual degree ABA students also benefit from participating in a peer mentoring group with graduate ABA students, being part of a cohort each year, having the ABA program director be your faculty advisor, and having opportunities to sit in on graduate-level ABA courses.
