Graduate Admissions for the M.S. in Behavior Anlaysis

Thank you for your interest in our graduate program in Behavior Analysis here at the University of North Texas (UNT).

Our degree (M.S. in Behavior Analysis) is offered through the Department of Behavior Analysis housed in the College of Public Affairs and Community Service. Thus, we are able to offer what is recognized worldwide as the most extensive training available in behavior analysis at the master’s degree level.
 
In addition to a world-class faculty and wide range of departmental projects available to students, an array of resources necessary to insure student success are also available at UNT including: a well-stocked library system, computer labs, student health-care, and state-of-the-art workout facilities. The department also makes available computers, printers and some shared office space to allow students to work on departmental lab and clinic projects on site.
