Due to COVID-19, BGSU is temporarily waiving the GRE and GMAT requirements for all applicants to any of the University’s graduate certificate and master’s degree programs through fall 2021.
Graduate application fees for new domestic applicants are also being waived through fall 2021.
Master of Education in Special Education
Applied Behavior Analysis
This fully online master’s degree prepares graduates for careers working with children, adolescents and adults who have behavioral challenges. Graduates are employed in a variety of educational, health care and private practice settings.
Students gain the knowledge and skills needed to pursue the supervised fieldwork that leads to the national Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) professional credential exam. This credential, verified through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, allows one to become a Certified Ohio Behavior Analyst (COBA) within the state of Ohio or similar licensure in many other states. The coursework alone does not ensure the BCBA credential, but is the first important step to gaining it. Our course sequence is verified through the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) for the 5th edition task list.
