Applied Behavior Analysis Certificate (On Campus) Student Outcomes

This program began in Fall 2020. The one-year retention rate for those entering the Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis (On Campus) program will be calculated one-year after the first entering cohort.

When the program length is one year or less, semester to semester retention is calculated, e.g., retention rate = (Spring 2019)/(Fall 2018).
