Your Master of Science in Behavioral Health Program

Make a meaningful impact on the lives of others with the science of applied behavior analysis (ABA). Keiser University’s Master of Science in Behavioral Health prepares students to lead in clinical, educational, and organizational settings by applying evidence-based behavioral interventions. This advanced program focuses on improving outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), mental health conditions, and other behavioral needs.

Why Choose This Program?

  • Hybrid Flexibility: Learn in a convenient hybrid format. Combine in-person instruction at our Flagship Residential Campus in Florida with flexible online coursework that fits your schedule.
  • Flexible Practice Options: This program focuses on the science and application of ABA, enabling students to expand their scope of practice beyond treating ASD or IDD exclusively, if they desire to do so.
  • Career-Focused Curriculum: Gain hands-on skills in assessment, intervention strategies, ethics, supervision, and applied research.
  • BCBA Certification Pathway: Our program meets the behavior-analytic coursework requirements for those pursuing the BCBA Pathway 2 eligibility route. *

Coursework covers critical areas such as assessment, intervention planning, ethics, supervision, and applied research, equipping you to make a difference in the lives of others.

*Although the MS in Behavioral Health degree prepares graduates with the coursework required to take the national board exam to apply to become a BCBA, it does not guarantee certification or exam eligibility. Students must also meet all non-coursework requirements (ex., supervised fieldwork hours) before applying. Students are responsible for reviewing the most current BCBA Handbook to confirm their eligibility to sit for the board exam.

Career Pathways

Graduates are prepared for roles in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), including:

  • Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA®) *
  • Clinical Director
  • Behavior Consultant
  • Researcher in Behavior Analysis
  • Special Education Behavior Support Specialist
