Applied Behavior Analysis Master's Program (M.Ed.)

Endicott College offers a residential oceanfront campus in Beverly, Massachusetts, 20 miles north of Boston. Students take part in campus events, community activities, and Gull spirit while living among residential buildings and academic facilities. The campus also provides views of the Atlantic and access to a location close to Boston.

Academic programs are connected to Endicott’s experiential approach. The college’s four-year internship model begins in the freshman year, giving students time to explore majors, build practical experience, and develop professional connections. Study abroad and intern abroad opportunities extend this approach beyond campus. Graduate and professional students can choose master’s, certificate, and doctoral programs in online, hybrid, or in-person formats.

Students benefit from engaged faculty and an average student-faculty ratio of 17:1. Career resources support preparation during college and after graduation. Endicott reports that 89% of employed students said their jobs were related to their majors. International students should consider how the internship, study abroad, and intern abroad options fit their academic plans, as well as the practical differences between residential undergraduate study and the flexible formats available in graduate and professional education.

This Master of Education (M.Ed.) program in Applied Behavior Analysis is designed for students seeking certification as a behavior analyst. It offers an accelerated format, allowing Endicott graduates to complete their master's degree and certification educational requirements simultaneously. The program emphasizes both the technical aspects of ABA science and the development of essential interpersonal skills for effective practice.

The program requires 40 total credits, comprising 25 credits of required coursework and thesis work, and 15 credits of electives. Endicott graduates may waive up to two elective courses, reducing their required elective credits.

Graduates may pursue careers as teachers or counselors for individuals with autism or mental health challenges, organizational behavior professionals, or apply behavior analysis in public school settings.

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree. Endicott graduates may have the GRE/MAT requirement waived if they maintained a 3.0 undergraduate GPA and applied by the spring semester of their senior year.

The programme totals about 40 credit hours. 100% online, part-time, with a typical duration of 27 months. For international students, tuition is well below the median for US programmes. The institution admits about 72% of applicants.
