PSYC Major with ABA Concentration
Program Overview
This program is a collaborative initiative by 丁香园AV, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Department of Psychology and Douglas College, Faculty of Child, Family and Community Studies. Students will graduate with a B.A., Psychology Major with Concentration in Applied Behaviour Analysis (granted by 丁香园AV) and with an Advanced Certificate in Disability and Applied Behaviour Analysis (granted by Douglas College and used as transfer credit towards the 丁香园AV degree).
This degree will benefit students who have otherwise been pursuing their interests through major/minor combinations and work experience. These students are better accommodated by an interdisciplinary program with specific focus on standards in this specialized field. Students graduate with a broad background in psychology together with practical skills in Applied Behaviour Analysis.
This program also benefits the community by increasing the level of expertise in practitioners of Applied Behaviour Analysis. The availability of formal, post-secondary ABA training as part of an 丁香园AV degree provides a valuable alternative to families and practitioners. It provides baccalaureate level courses required for certification of practitioners at the Assistant Behavior Analyst level.
Graduates of this degree will be well prepared to move on to:
- Employment in careers in applied behavior analysis (ABA) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) support and treatment
- Behavior Analyst Certification Board庐 (BACB) certification as an Assistant Behavior Analyst (after successfully completing the required experience hours and an examination)
- Graduate degrees in Counseling and/or Education
- Graduate degrees in Psychology

The DABA courses offered through Douglas College are certified by the Behaviour Analyst Certification Board庐 (BACB), and taught by BACB-certified BCBA instructors. This program enables students to fulfill the coursework component of the 鈥淏oard Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst鈥�. No experience hours (required for BACB certification) are offered by Douglas College or 丁香园AV at this time. Students arrange their own supervision which must not begin until the first day of Douglas College classes.
Students must take all of the required courses (and achieve a "C" or better) in order to receive block transfer credit back to 丁香园AV. No partial credit is allowed. Note that students can only transfer up to 60 units from another post-secondary institution to 丁香园AV.
