What is the Science of Behavior in Psychology?

A common misconception among psychology students is the belief that a graduate degree is necessary to practice psychology and make a meaningful impact. While advanced degrees open many doors, they are not the only path to a rewarding career in the field. In fact, behavior analysis offers a unique career path that begins with a certification requiring as little as a high school diploma.

Introducing the Empowered RBT™ Program

For students and career seekers interested in behavior analysis, the Empowered RBT™ (Registered Behavior Technician) program offers an excellent solution. This certification provides a practical and accessible entry point into the field, allowing individuals to gain valuable experience and make a difference while deciding on long-term career goals.

A RBT is a paraprofessional who works under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to implement behavior-analytic services. The role involves direct work with clients to improve various behavioral issues, often in settings such as schools, clinics, and homes. The RBT certification is an ideal starting point for those looking to enter the field of behavior analysis, or psychology, without committing to years of graduate study.

1. Quick Entry into the Workforce:  The RBT certification process can be completed relatively quickly, allowing individuals to start working and gaining experience sooner.

2. Hands-On Experience:  RBTs work directly with clients, providing practical experience that is invaluable for those considering a career in psychology or behavior analysis.

3. Flexible Career Options:  Working as a RBT can help individuals explore different aspects of behavior analysis and determine their specific areas of interest – different clients, different settings.

4. Support and Supervision:  RBTs receive ongoing supervision and support from BCBAs, ensuring they develop strong foundational skills in behavior analysis.

5. Pathway to Advanced Roles:  Experience as an RBT can pave the way for further education and certification, such as becoming a BCBA.
