University faculty who are interested in developing course sequences to be approved by the BACB are encouraged to contact me for initial discussions and consultation. We will provide application materials that will delineate the requirements for approval and provide a framework for us to provide feedback to the applicant on what else is needed, if anything. If additional coursework development is called for, we will work with the applicant university until the course sequence is approved. Faculty who are in the initial stages of developing coursework may wish to begin the approval process early so they may consider BACB content requirements as they proceed. We have found that many university administrators like the notion of having their program’s coursework approved by an international credentialing body such as the BACB and they will support faculty efforts to achieve that goal.

International Development
As evidenced in the list of universities above, there is considerable interest in BACB certification outside of the United States. Approximately one-quarter of the universities with BACB-approved course sequences lie outside of the US. See the accompanying table listing all of the non-US universities with one or more approved course sequences.
