Since then, he has attained his credential as a registered behavior technician (RBT), was promoted to a lead position, and sought out higher education within the field of applied behavior analysis. Jensen is currently enrolled in CSUN\u2019s Masters of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis program. When asked what was special or unique about CSUN\u2019s program, Jensen noted that, in addition to the top-notch faculty, \u201cThe program is based on a cohort model, which means that you take classes with the same group of peers (throughout the entirety of the program). The cohort model allows students to build a network of future behavior analysts. The program also offers a variety of practicum options; students have the opportunity to work with professors directly in their research labs or at approved agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jensen\u2019s coursework has covered concepts and principles of behavior analysis, ethics, and assessment and intervention. All of the classes within this program are geared towards helping students develop the groundwork for a career as a behavior analyst. So far, Jensen\u2019s favorite class has been Behavior Change Procedures. This course details procedures that behavior analysts use to make meaningful, socially significant changes in client behavior. Jensen noted, \u201cThe classes have helped me gain a better understanding of decision-making when choosing to apply specific procedures during a session.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jensen suggests that CSUN\u2019s MS in Applied Behavior Analysis program is a good fit for anyone who has a passion for ABA, and can see a future for themselves within the field. Jensen\u2019s favorite thing about this program is \u201cthe entire faculty is amazing and ensures that we are understanding the material which is helpful because the program can be tough at times. I\u2019ve also really enjoyed having a supportive cohort along the way.\u201d Jensen\u2019s advice to skills trainers or anyone seeking to go to graduate school in this field is to learn how to manage your time wisely.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read about one of our RBT Lead&#8217;s experience in perusing his master&#8217;s degree in applied behavior analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1429,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
