Department Summary

The College of Health and Public Service (HPS) at the University of North Texas, distinguished as one of the few Tier-One research universities designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), prepares graduates to address diverse and complex social issues such as aging, disability, disaster management and recovery, criminal justice, health disparities, and public safety, and find solutions to challenges in public administration, public health, and urban design. We have seven academic departments with undergraduate and graduate programs, the Center for Public Management, the UNT Speech and Hearing Center, UNT Workplace Inclusion & Sustainable Employment (WISE), and a number of professional development and clinical training programs to facilitate careers to address a global society.

HPS students are trained to lead nonprofits, become educators, researchers, and professionals who strengthen the diverse communities we serve with thoughtful, inclusive, and equitable practices as audiologists, behavior analysts, city managers, emergency managers, health care administrators, public safety administrators, public health specialists, rehabilitation counselors, speech-language pathologists, social workers, urban planners and more.

Located within HPS, the Department of Behavior Analysis has 7 full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty, 2 professional faculty, 1 research faculty, and many part-time lecturers. The department takes pride in having a faculty of excellent scholars, including many who have won prestigious awards and recognition from disciplinary bodies, the university, and local and regional governing bodies. Many of our faculty serve in leadership roles in the discipline, including serving on editorial boards of our leading journals.

The department prepares graduates for careers in behavior analysis as researchers, academics, and scientist-practitioners. The department has been training students in behavior analysis for more than 30 years, was the first program accredited by ABAI, and was recognized by ABAI for enduring programmatic contributions to the discipline. We offer four degree-granting programs: a verified course sequence (VCS) leading to a Bachelor of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis, a VCS leading to a Master of Arts in Applied Behavior Analysis, an ABAI-accredited Master of Science in Behavior Analysis, and a Ph.D. in Health Sciences with a concentration in Behavior Analysis.
