Honours Bachelor of Behaviour Analysis

George Brown was the first college in Toronto to offer the Behavioural Science Technology Advanced Diploma and spearheaded the development of the provincial Autism and Behavioural Science programs. This honours degree program is the latest evolution reflecting our leadership in the field. The Honours Bachelor of Behaviour Analysis (S302) four-year degree program takes an in-depth look at applied behaviour analysis (ABA) – a field of study that uses a systematic and analytical approach to modify behaviour in a desirable way. We have been providing training and education in applied behaviour analysis in Toronto for more than 15 years. Our graduates are leaders in behavioural treatment in fields as varied as forensic mental health, autism spectrum disorder and acquired brain injury. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) recently became regulated in Ontario under the Psychology and Applied Behaviour Analysis Act, 2021. As such, individuals who wish to practise as Behaviour Analysts must now be licensed by the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO). Regulation of the profession helps establish professional standards, protect clients, and promote accountability in practice.
