Undergraduate Psychology coursework to meet BCaBA educational requirements

· As you may know, the Behavioral Analyst Certification Board (BACB®) recently made significant changes to the BCaBA credentialing requirements, including increased coursework hours needed for certification. CSUN Psychology Department is working toward meeting these new coursework requirements.  Currently, some of our courses such as PSY 351, PSY 406, PSY 471 may cover content from the 4th edition task list.  However, please note that we do not currently offer an approved course sequence (APC) as outlined by the (BACB®). 

 

· You can identify the additional requirements for the 4th Edition, compared to the 3rd Edition, by reviewing page 4 of the Fourth Edition Coursework Requirements Document (http://bacb.com/documents/), reviewing the table below, and contacting the BACB® directly  by going to http://bacb.com/contact-us/
