Program Overview

If you want to work in the growing and highly specialized field of applied behaviour analysis, as well as learn related therapeutic treatments, the Behavioural Science program is where you want to be. For over four decades, the Behavioural Science program has trained students to work front-line with a wide range of client populations in a variety of areas within the human services field. Students are taught how to develop and implement behavioural interventions to teach skills to clients and/or reduce challenging behaviours. 

Students interested in this program should have a strong desire to work with populations who present with complex behavioural, cognitive, emotional and/or psychological issues. They should also be comfortable to work with any population that presents with disruptive behaviours and/or intellectual challenges. Students coming to the program need to be prepared to complete practicum placements working with any of the client populations listed below under career opportunities. Our program trains students in specific treatment options that can be applied to work with any individual who presents with challenges rather than preparing students to work with only one or a specific client population.

Highlights

  • Our students learn how to:
    • Teach children to manage their behaviour and learn adaptive skills;
    • Assist people with intellectual disabilities to access community resources, learn new skills, and live more independently;
    • Teach youth at risk to improve social skills, manage interfering behaviours, and meet treatment goals;
    • Support persons with mental health challenges to reduce their stress, build self-management skills and organize daily activities;
    • Assist clients with acquired brain injuries to learn functional skills and develop life skills;
    • Work with offenders in correctional facilities to build positive skills and behaviours;
    • Recognize what an addiction is and understand various ways to prevent addiction and manage recovery.

Students complete four field placements where they receive experience and practical training in the skills they have learned in the classroom. Our program has many field placement possibilities in a variety of interesting and dynamic settings.
