These positions, from behavior consultant through senior (master's level) behavior consultant, allow for accrual of behavior analytic and unrestricted BACB fieldwork hours while developing the professional acumen of a behavior analyst through a scaffolded behavioral learning approach. BAE has partnerships with various Universities to offer tuition discount to BAE employees who are interested in pursuing advanced education.
