Brock University is the only University in Ontario offering a Master of Arts (MA) in Applied Disability Studies. Students can choose to specialize in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) or Leadership, Diversity, Community, and Culture (LDCC).
The ABA course sequence is verified by the Association for Behavior Analyst International for completing the course requirements to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst®. The LDCC program provides graduate-level training across key areas for career advancement in the disability sector. In addition to course work and practicum/internship placements, the MA program requires the student to complete an original research study and write an MA thesis under the supervision of a key faculty member and a thesis committee.
The program is highly competitive with enrollment in the MA program currently limited to 6-10 new students per year (including both specializations). This program is geared toward students who are interested in research careers and pursuing a doctoral degree.
