Behavior Analysts play an important role in health care, often working with individuals and families to help make significant changes to their clients’ lives through behavior analysis and intervention. According to PayScale, the average base annual salary for ABA master’s degree holders is $68,000, and board-certified behavior analysts can make between $51,000 to $80,000 annually.
Due to the amount of empirical evidence an ABA student must be familiar with, in addition to pursuing certification in ABA, graduates can pursue work in other areas such as substance abuse treatment, occupational safety, project management and brain-injury rehabilitation. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, careers in the substance abuse, behavior disorder and mental health counseling industries are projected to experience a growth rate of 23% over the next ten years, making careers in these pathways much more accessible.
ABA master’s degree holders can work in a variety of industries and care settings, including in client homes – one of the most popular locations for ABA work to occur – schools, clinics or private practices. The master’s in ABA is designed to help FranU students find employment in any of these capacities or industries.

FranU has partnered with area leaders in behavior-analytic service delivery to provide concentrated supervised fieldwork opportunities through the internship sequence that meet the BACB’s supervision requirements. These opportunities allow students to a) apply the knowledge they’ve gained in the classroom, b) develop professional repertoires expected of behavior analysts, c) provide in-kind hours that help those in need in our community, and d) see the impact of behavior-analytic interventions first-hand. Supervisors are knowledgeable of current certification requirements and have experience meeting the BACB’s supervision standards.
We offer internship placement at the Emerge Center, the Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Health, Behavioral Intervention Group, and Meaningful Autistic Resources for Kids.
