The University of Oregon Online Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is designed to:
- Prepare clinician-researchers to apply the science of human behavior and learning to a variety of populations and settings
- Provide a strong foundation in the principles and conceptual underpinnings of ABA and the application of behavior analysis in multidisciplinary contexts

Online Student Testimony
Jennifer Jones, MS '24
"The Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program at the University of Oregon provides an exceptional learning experience in many ways! For example, the faculty members exemplify and promote compassionate, respectful, and thoughtful interactions in every circumstance—including the provision of Applied Behavior Analysis services. Additionally, their online environment utilizes both asynchronous and synchronous time with consideration of our own personal schedules. The meetings give us an opportunity to verbally discuss topics with peers, with the support of instructors, and is a game changer to understanding the content. Further, they have excelled in helping build a sense of community, both locally and globally, by facilitating connections with local agencies and those practicing Applied Behavior Analysis across the country. Consequently, I am so very thankful to be an ABA Duck!”

“I decided to seek this Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis to increase my core knowledge of ABA to better serve families via Telehealth using ABA strategies (nationally & internationally). I have been engaged in collaborating in bi-directional learning, and knowledge discovery with peers in the MS ABA program utilizing synchronous and asynchronous online learning platforms. The MS ABA program online is a feasible option for committed people who may be full-time staff, parents, etc with demanding schedules. The core MS ABA faculty leaders are incredibly knowledgeable people, who are considerate, welcoming, and understanding thus making learning together an enjoyable activity. I truly feel part of an amazing team despite being remote due to developing a professional and supportive relationship with all of my instructors (Dr. Marshall & Dr. Cosottile) and mentor Dr. Wendy Michalicek.”
