The Rehabilitation Institute at Southern Illinois University is proud to offer a doctoral degree in Behavior Analysis and Therapy (BAT). This comprehensive degree program is designed to train students to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst Doctoral (BCBA-D). <br><br>BAT graduate program is comprised of a wide variety of coursework and real-life field experiences. A very rare combination of opportunities exists here at SIU, where the student will be able to practice the behavioral techniques learned in the classroom in actual clinical settings. Students will have access to diverse populations of clients ranging from children with autism, adults with brain injury, and elderly persons suffering from dementia. Beyond those clinical populations, students have opportunities to participate in animal laboratories, a gambling casino research installation, and business and industries in the local communities. Students interested in becoming professors and teachers of behavior analysis will have ample opportunities to serve as course instructors and teaching assistants during their training within the program.
