Students may choose one of the four domains of Behavior Analysis as the focus of their comprehensive project: Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Theory and Philosophy, Applied Behavior Analysis, or Service Delivery. Projects must be approved by the faculty early in the semester, and students are required to address three of the four project models and three of the four areas of Behavior Analysis in four of the following five courses: PA 690  , PA 691 , PA 698  , PA 693  , or 694.
