Anyone have experience with 1 year online master ABA programs?

Hi,

Like the title says, I’m interested in a fully online ABA master program, that is preferably asynchronous, affordable and 12-16 months at most. I see that Purdue and a couple other pricier private schools offer 1 year programs but I can’t really afford that. I’m really interested in National University since they are affordable, year round enrollment and I am reading that it is 12-18 months to complete (mainly seeing 1.5 years) . I would like to see if there are any other 1 year long and affordable programs before I make the jump. And yes I am aware that a 2-3 year program is probably best but I’m only interested in being able to pass the BCBA at the moment and will most likely be using the BDS modules. Any helpful input would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I started in Jan 2022 and finished in December 2023 and all I got was a certificate since I already had a masters degree. With working full time to I wouldn’t be able to handle more than going part time. I wouldn’t be very weary of places saying you can do it so quickly. I would think they are a diploma mill. Plus you still got to get your supervised hours too.

What school did you attend? I currently only have a bachelors in psychology. So a certificate isn’t really enough for me. I would need a masters degree.

I did my masters in human services in 2010 at Liberty University online. I then went to York College of PA for my certificate in ABA.
