Doctoral Program in Applied Behavior
Analysis - APPROVED!
Ü On July
29, 2009, The NJ Commission On Higher
Education unanimously approved Caldwell College's Ph.D. in ABA program. Caldwell is now
approved to grant the doctorate in ABA (updated
7/29/09).
In past news, the proposed PhD
program received approval by the Middle States Commission on Higher
Education, which accredits colleges and universities in the northeast. In
addition,
the proposed PhD program received a very positive report by an outside consultant.
The PhD program had already been approved unanimously by the Caldwell College's
Curriculum Committee and approved by the
College's Board of Trustees.
Previously, Caldwell College
commissioned a feasibility study and a marketing study to investigate the
possibility of a doctoral program in ABA. The first phase of the feasibility
study assessed the need of advanced training in ABA amongst
professionals and consumers in the autism community. Respondents to a
marketing study were strongly in favor of the PhD
program. Additional updates regarding this process
will be posted here as they develop (updated 10/2/08). |

Thesis in Applied Behavior
Analysis - Updates Ü
For all students who wish to take thesis in Fall 2010, before you can register
you will be asked to complete the following survey in Spring 2010:
THESIS ADVISOR AND TOPIC SURVEY
In this survey you will indicate (a) your top two thesis
research topic choices, and (b) your preference ranking for which professor
you would prefer for your thesis Chair (this will be the professor who teaches your PS 650
and PS 651 courses and develops the study with you). Although the ABA grad
faculty will do their best to accommodate your first choices, please
understand that you may have to conduct your thesis with a modified topic or
with your second or third choice for Thesis Chair. You cannot register for a
thesis section based only on a preference for a particular professor or
because the time of the section is convenient for you. These restrictions
are
necessitated by size limits on each section of thesis to 5-6 students and by
topic expertise of each faculty member. You will be receiving an email
outlining these registration procedures for thesis. In the meantime, it will
be helpful to you to begin learning the content of the
Handbook for Thesis
Research (click link) (updated 3/28/10).
Ü For all
students who will be taking Ps650 Thesis in ABA I, please note that there is
a
Handbook
for Thesis Research. You will
be responsible for the content of this handbook throughout the thesis
process
(updated 11/2/09).
NOTE NEW REQUIREMENT: Students that do not complete their thesis
requirements by the conclusion of Ps651 Thesis in ABA II will be
required to register for the 3-credit course Ps652 Thesis in ABA III
in the summer. This will also necessitate a change in your graduation from
May to August. August graduates can still participate in the graduation
ceremony in May. |
