BCBA New Option  (updated 5/13/08) 
There is a new option being offered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board to qualify to take the BCBA exam. This option does NOT require that the applicant has taken BCBA-approved coursework. The following information is taken from the BACB website (www.bacb.com) under "Become Certified" under "eligibility standards". More information is also provided in the online BACB newsletter at http://www.bacb.com/newsletter/page2.html 

OPTION 3:  DOCTORATE/BCBA REVIEW OPTION
1. Doctorate Degree: The applicant must have a doctoral degree, conferred at least ten (10) years prior to applying. The field of study must be behavior analysis, psychology, education or another related field (doctoral degrees in related fields are subject to BACB approval).
2. BCBA Review:
The applicant must have 10 years post-doctoral experience in behavior analysis. Experience must be verified independently by three Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and supported by information provided on the applicant’s CV (curriculum vitae). Applicants who are unable to obtain three BCBAs familiar with their experience may contact the BACB directly (christine@bacb.com) to discuss alternatives.
