What happens after I apply to the MS in ABA program?
The Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis program utilizes a rolling admissions
policy, so applications will be considered throughout the year as they are received.
Students will be accepted into the program until the desired class size is achieved,
therefore it is recommended for candidates to submit applications early. Classes begin
in the fall term.
The Admissions Committee screens applications, invites some applicants for an interview,
evaluates the applicants and selects the new students. Following completion of the
admissions process, each applicant is notified of the Admissions Committee's decision
in writing, including any conditions that must be satisfied prior to or following
enrollment.
Interviews for this program will be conducted virtually for the 2023-2024 application
cycle.
As an applicant to PCOM's MS in Applied Behavior Analysis program, you are responsible
for ensuring that all admissions materials are completed accurately and submitted
in a timely manner.
Criminal background check requirement
The College requires a criminal background check for all program applicants and enrolled
students. The PCOM Office of Admissions will facilitate a criminal background check
prior to matriculation processed by a PCOM vendor of choice. Subsequent criminal background
checks can occur during enrollment, including but not limited to, when the student
is conducting internships, clerkships, clinical coursework, or other types of coursework
that occur off campus. Any student charged, convicted of, or who pleads guilty or
no contest to a misdemeanor or felony crime after the date of the original application
submission is required to notify the dean of the program in writing within 10 business
days of the occurrence. This communication should be sent by certified mail to the
dean at the address on the acceptance letter.
Technical standards
Prior to enrollment, all candidates are required to complete the College's Technical Standards for Admission and Matriculation (PDF).
