The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) implemented new coursework content requirements for BCaBA certification that will become effective January 1, 2027. Your current enrollment in the Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in Applied Behavior Analysis program coursework meets the 2027 education requirements established by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) to be eligible to apply for the BCaBA exam under Pathway 2. Students who submit and obtain an approved application on or before 11:59 pm ET on December 31, 2031 are eligible for the BCaBA exam through Pathway 2, provided all other eligibility requirements are met.

Our priority is to support your academic success and help you navigate these changes with confidence. We also encourage you to stay current with BACB notifications and updates provided in their Quarterly Newsletters and email communications.
