SCSU’s Applied Behavior Analysis Programs Earn Top Accreditation

(KNSI) – St. Cloud State University’s applied behavior analysis programs have once again received the highest accreditation, cementing their world-class reputation.

The program has earned a seven-year accreditation from the Association for Behavior Analysis International’s Accreditation Board, the maximum duration the board grants. This distinction reflects the program’s commitment to best practices and exceptional student outcomes.

SCSU’s program holds a position of unique global prestige. As of January 2026, 11 other master’s programs worldwide have achieved seven-year accreditation, and SCSU’s distance program is currently the only accredited online program in the world to hold this distinction.
Students benefit from hands-on training at the Linda and Richard Offerdahl Autism Discovery Center, where they work under the direct supervision of licensed doctoral-level and nationally certified behavior analysis faculty.

Established in 1982 and accredited since 1999, the program has a long-standing history of training analysts to serve diverse populations, including those with autism spectrum disorder and developmental disabilities.
