Registered Behavior Technician Concentration

The Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) concentration supports students in transitioning from the Accelerate U certificate program to a Bachelor's degree pathway by recognizing students' coursework in the RBT certificate program as a concentration. A student pursuing this educational route would be positioned to work part-time as an RBT after completing the certificate program, and then pursue continued education to advance their career. In addition, this concentration recognizes the valuable industry knowledge and skills that students have formed as RBTs and the additional perspective this experience would offer to an undergraduate student as they pursue any range of undergraduate degrees.
