You have the passion — now acquire the knowledge and skills you need to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). At Manhattanville University, we offer 2 board-certified Applied Behavior Analysis programs that will train you to design, implement, and supervise behavior analytic programs for those with autism and related disorders (as well as a variety of other students). Approved by New York State for licensing as a Behavior Analyst, and by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) for national certification, your work as an ABA therapist will have a direct impact on students’ success in and out of the classroom.

A Rewarding Career That's in Demand
