The demand for behavior analysts continues to be one of the fastest-growing disciplines, having increased every year since 2010, with a massive 58% increase in demand from 2023 to 2024 alone. Due to this consistent increase in demand, universities have continued to introduce ABA programs catered to the unique BCBA requirements in their home states and nationally.
As the supply of ABA master’s programs, undergraduate offerings, certification programs, and even research-focused Ph.D. programs continues to increase, it has become even more challenging for potential program applicants to understand what makes programs unique and how they might align with the personal and professional goals of their students.
We built ABA Masters Programs to provide potential students with this insight as they navigate the array of behavior analysis educational offerings. The site has been developed by ABA professionals, higher education demand strategists, and information science professionals with the core goal of providing unique and up-to-date insight into educational offerings in the space.

Data Sources and Site Accuracy
Our goal is to provide accurate and up-to-date information on the available ABA educational offerings in the United States. Given the growth in the field, information about available degree program offerings, including their cost, length, and entrance requirements, can change quickly. So to make sure our data is as up-to-date as possible, we periodically review various third-party data sources, including IPEDS, the Association for Behavior Analysis International, and individual university websites to make certain that our program information is correct.
