accredited university.

Current BCBA Degree Requirement
Effective January 2011, an applicant must have the
appropriate degree "from an accredited university, that
was conferred in behavior analysis or other natural
science, education, human services, engineering, medicine
or a field related to behavior analysis and approved by
the BACB."
In order to qualify under this degree requirement, the BACB must receive your
completed application for certification (including supporting documentation) by

If your degree was conferred in behavior analysis or one of the approved academic
areas listed below, you do not need to take any action.
Education
Clinical, counseling, or school psychology
Clinical social work
Occupational therapy
Speech/language therapy

Medicine
All other degree determinations are made on a case-by-case basis if the coursework
that was required for your graduate degree included courses that were behavior
analytic in nature. To request consideration of your degree under the current standards,
use the form below to provide us with some basic information.
All United States degrees must come from an accredited university as determined by the
Council on Higher Education (www.chea.org)

Association of Credential Evaluation Services for evaluation.
