Supervision Information

Applying for the BCBA exam

  • For information on the requirements to become a BCBA, including information on how to obtain supervised fieldwork and how to apply for the exam, please see the BCBA Handbook.
  • We recommend that students begin collecting supervised fieldwork hours while taking courses so that they can benefit from applying what they are learning in their classes and by bringing their applied experiences back into the classroom.
  • FAQs for RBTs pursuing BCBA certification

For more information on recent and upcoming changes to BACB requirements, please be sure you are receiving the BACB newsletter.



Our online program offers asynchronous courses leading to a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. When combined with supervised fieldwork that is obtained outside the MA program, you will be eligible to take the national Board Certified Behavior Analysis (BCBA) exam administered by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB). Obtaining BCBA certification meets the criteria to become Texas Licensed Behavior Analysts (TX-LBA). If you are located outside of Texas, please refer to the US Licensure of Behavior Analysts section on the BACB website.
