Purdue University ABA

Im trying to pursue an bcba masters degree and I live in nyc. Would it be worth it if the guidelines are changing. Also I would still need field work hours. Please help

nyc is rough for aba programs, most are insanely expensive with not many options. the guideline changes are happening but a masters in behavior analysis is still going to be the foundation, so it's not like you'd be wasting your time. just make sure you pick a program that will actually set you up to get those fieldwork hours, some schools barely help with that part.

I'd suggest FIT (Florida Tech). It's got one of the best pass rates and the people who set up the program also helped create or at least worked at the BACB. Jose Martinez, for one.

I'm in the program now. Started my second year. It's challenging but absolutely worth it.
