We are pleased to announce that SPED 310: Introduction to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is now available for Fall 2026 registration! Register now!

A couple of things to keep in mind:
1)You need to have taken PSYC 265: Behavior Modifications or will need to take it alongside SPED310 in the fall.
2) This course will be offered both on campus and online.
3) This course is offered in the Spring as well!

We are working on partnerships with clinics in the northern region of Minnesota for SPED 410. We should hear back from them by early July. The Special Education department will communicate with students with any updates.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Just home from MREA. Dr. Kovar and Dr. Syring brought eight amazing students. It was awesome to see how excited they were for everything they learned. We are so proud of our students. Two of them are fully online students-so fun to spend time with them in person!
