Each month we will be highlighting a major in the Luther College of Arts & Sciences - This months major is Applied Behavior Analysis.
This major is designed for the student who is interested in providing behavioral services to individuals, families, schools, group homes, mental health agencies, and industrial/business settings. Practicums are typically available at the integrated Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (iCASD) at the Munroe‐Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center working with children who have been diagnosed with autism, severe behavior problems, and feeding disorders. During their internship, most students will complete the requirements for the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential which will be highly valued by internship sites and impact future job opportunities. This major prepares students for graduate study in behavior analysis or related areas and for national certification as an assistant‐level Behavior Analyst.
