ABA Faculty
Currently, there are five faculty appointments in the ABA program. Each of the faculty members is nationally certified by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst® and received his or her Ph.D. from a doctoral program that is either accredited by the Association for Behavior Analysis International or had a course sequence in ABA that was approved by the BACB®. Each has extensive experience teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses in ABA, has provided both direct and supervisory services in ABA, and has extensive experience in research methodologies and basic learning principles in ABA. All five faculty members have published and presented their scholarly work at local, national, and international conferences.
