Career Pathways
Graduates often become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This allows work with autistic individuals in clinical, residential, or community settings, helping clients better understand their behavior and develop new repertoires to achieve goals more easily.
However, becoming board certified is not the only option. Other roles for behavior analysts include serving as consults or support professionals in schools, agencies, or organizations.
