What is a BCBA student?

BCBA students are individuals who are currently pursuing the educational and supervised experience requirements to become Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). These students typically enroll in graduate-level programs in applied behavior analysis, psychology, or related fields, and complete both coursework and supervised fieldwork as part of their preparation. Upon completion of these requirements, BCBA students can apply to take the BCBA certification exam, which qualifies them to practice as independent behavior analysts. The role of a BCBA student involves learning about behavioral assessment, intervention, and ethical practices under the guidance of qualified professionals.
