Investing in The Future: Behavior Frontiers’ University Partnership Program

At Behavior Frontiers we are truly vested in our employees and go the extra mile to encourage and support them in taking the next steps in their education and career. Our University Partnership Program with an array of colleges and universities (with more being added all the time) offers benefits and incentives to Behavior Frontiers employees wishing to pursue higher education. Program benefits include tuition discounts, hybrid programs and flexible class schedules enabling employees to reach their educational goals while continuing to maintain a consistent schedule.

The esteemed Chicago School of Professional Psychology is one of our Partner programs. The Chicago School is recognized as a premier educational institution in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, and Behavior Frontiers employees enjoy a substantial tuition discount for both Master’s and Doctoral programs. Additional program partners include California Southern (CSU), Capella, Drexel, National and Nova Southeastern Universities, as well as the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT). Our growing list of partners ensures that, no matter an employee’s schedule or career goals, they can find a partner program that fits their needs.

Once an employee has enrolled in the BCBA coursework, they can obtain hours for their Supervised Independent Fieldwork requirement by working with their supervisor or Clinical Director. As anyone who has ever pursued their BCBA certificate will tell you, this is a major perk!

Behavior Frontiers is committed – both in theory and in practice -- to supporting our employees’ growth and development as a path to the bigger, better and brighter future they strive to achieve.
