Program details
Overview
The Graduate Diploma in Applied Disability Studies (Applied Behaviour Analysis specialization) is offered by Brock University's Faculty of Social Sciences. It is designed for students who hold a master's degree in Applied Behaviour Analysis, Psychology, or Education and who want to complete a Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Verified Course Sequence toward the Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) credential. The course-based program runs full-time over five terms (20 months), with classes offered on weekdays for full-time students and on weekends for students studying part-time; some courses may be delivered fully or partially online. Instruction is available at Brock's main campus and at additional locations, including Hamilton, as listed on the program's options page. The diploma combines coursework in applied behaviour analysis with practical experience hours, preparing graduates to pursue BCBA certification after completing the required supervised experience.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:75.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants require a four-year bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from an accredited institution in a related field, with a minimum average of 75% in the last two years of study; the diploma is intended primarily for applicants who already hold a master's degree in a related field, since it lets them complete the ABAI Verified Course Sequence needed to apply to write the BCBA exam. Undergraduate or graduate coursework, volunteer work, or work experience in the field of disabilities is considered an asset. Applicants required to demonstrate English language proficiency must meet the standard graduate minimum of IELTS 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.0, or an approved equivalent.
