University of Canberra

The University of Canberra is and always has been committed to providing a transformative educational experience accessible to everyone, whatever their stage of life and background. This is a central element of our current strategic plan and an aspiration we are absolutely committed to. Our much-valued predecessor, the Canberra College of Advanced Education (CCAE) transformed many lives with its focus on professional education, at a time when the political and economic climate gave many people opportunity—especially those not traditionally expected to enter tertiary education. This is a commitment that we continue today, within the globalised higher education sector.

About University of Canberra

Dynamic and vibrant, the University of Canberra (UC) is embedded deep in the soul of Canberra, the Australian capital. Canberra is a place where ideas are born, creativity is explored and opportunity is created.

Our home in Canberra and connection with our neighbouring communities shapes our purpose as a university. Whether it’s fostering innovation, meeting health-care needs, solving environmental challenges or equipping our future leaders, our University is an embodiment of our distinctive city. Canberra is a wonderful place to live, study and work – a safe, connected, multicultural city which boasts great scenery, excellent entertainment and sports venues, a buzzing food scene and a glittering galaxy of cultural institutions.

UC is a university for the professions, dedicated to providing immersive student experiences focussed on employability outcomes. In fact, we’re number one in the ACT for graduate employment and salaries (Good Universities Guide 2020), and we’re swiftly developing a global reputation, achieving a place in the world’s top 20 young universities (THE YUR 2020), Australia’s top 10 universities and amongst the top 1% of universities worldwide (THE 2020). These are remarkable achievements for a university only celebrating our 30th anniversary this year.

This success is in part due to our two-pronged focus, encompassing progressive teaching and learning, as well as strong ties to industry. The latter means that students enjoy real-world work experience, internships and clinical placements meaning UC students get a taste for their future careers, even before graduation.

The university is also devoted to trail-blazing innovation and research with practical impact, and home to leading research institutes like the Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) and Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis (IGPA).

There are five faculties at UC, offering undergraduate, postgraduate and higher degree by research (HDR) options. The faculties include

• Faculty of Health
• Faculty of Education
• Faculty of Arts and Design
• Faculty of Business, Government and Law, and
• Faculty of Science and Technology

As new developments continue to expand the campus one thing the University has maintained over its 30 years is its indomitable, distinctive character. Our location in Australia’s capital city has shaped the University as progressive and dynamic – dedicated to public service and building a sustainable and prosperous future. As a hub of learning, practical courses, innovative research and new opportunities, it will always be the University in, of and for Canberra

International student experience at UC

Uc's graduate outcomes survey results.

The University of Canberra (UC) is one of Australia’s top universities, providing some of the highest quality education in the country, and the recent 2023 Graduate Outcomes Survey results really showcase this.

Read on to find out all about UC’s successes and what they mean for you as an international student.

What is the Graduate Outcomes Survey?

The Graduate Outcomes Survey investigates short-term outcomes for graduates, including labour market outcomes, further study outcomes and satisfaction with completed courses. Put simply, it’s what alumni are experiencing, now that their studies are over. Graduates are asked to reflect on their experiences four to six months after course completion.

The Graduate Outcomes Survey Report presents the survey results. It contains valuable information about how happy graduates are with the courses they’ve studied, the extent to which they’re utilising their skills, the proportion that are employed and how much they are earning.

In 2023, the Survey had 116,250 responses from 126 participating institutions all across Australia. 

If you’re looking to study in Australia, the Graduate Outcomes Survey Report is a useful resource for learning about general study outcomes in Australia and determining which university will set you up best for a fulfilling and successful career in the future.

How did UC rank in the Graduate Outcomes Survey?

So, how did UC do in 2023?

•   #5 in Australia for overall employment
• Top 10 Australian universities in overall employment, full-time employment and labour force participation for undergraduate and postgraduate coursework domestic students
• 85% of undergraduates are employed full-time
• $71,000 is the undergraduate median full-time salary
• 93% of postgraduate coursework students are employed full-time
• $84,600 is the postgraduate median full-time salary

These results highlight UC’s excellent standing among educational institutions in Australia.

What does this mean for me?

As a prospective or current UC student, the Graduate Outcomes Survey Report confirms that you’ve made the right choice by studying at UC.

The high rate of employment for both undergraduate and postgraduate students shows that UC’s extensive workforce preparation initiatives work. Not only do work-readiness initiatives prepare graduates for the workforce, but they’re also able to utilise their skills and knowledge to find well-paying employment opportunities.

One way UC helps graduates become job-ready is through a strong focus on Work Integrated Learning . Work Integrated Learning means that students are supported to gain hands-on industry experience and build their industry networks throughout their degree. Graduates finish their courses well equipped to succeed in their chosen fields.

At UC, students’ professional growth is paramount. When you commence study at UC, you’ll be able to access career support initiatives to help you achieve your career and employment goals. Careers UC offers services including:

• workshops on employment skills like resume writing and interview techniques
• Work Integrated Learning opportunities
• graduate programs
• casual work
• volunteering opportunities
• personal and professional development opportunities

Studying at UC also means you’ll be well prepared for graduation and supported to succeed at all stages of your degree. UC’s Study Skills is a fantastic resource for all students.

Course Catalog 2024-2025

Applied behavior analysis, m.a., program description.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the application of scientific principles taken from behavior analysis to socially significant behavior change. The goal of ABA is to improve learning and decrease challenging behavior, which may impact the individual’s quality of life. ABA is an effective intervention for many problems and populations, including those with and without specific diagnoses, across settings.

The program consists of 33 hours of coursework which will allow students to obtain a Master of Arts Degree in ABA. Completion of the course work will allow students to qualify to sit for the exam to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and, where applicable, licensed to practice. Marshall University psychology, special education, counseling, school psychology, business, and social work students may want to seek this additional degree to enhance their employment options. Students pursuing graduate degrees related to rehabilitation services (e.g., communication disorders, counseling, nursing, and social work) or business may want to complete coursework in the area to learn more about evidence-based practices derived from ABA.

Admission Requirements

All applicants (including those seeking admission as professional development (certification only), should follow the admissions process described in this catalog or at the Graduate Admissions website at  www.marshall.edu/graduate/admissions/how-to-apply-for-admission .

In addition to Marshall University’s requirements for admission, applicants must have:

• An undergraduate Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.80 or higher on a 4.0 scale, or a graduate degree from an accepted, accredited institution; and
• Two letters of recommendation from professionals who know the candidate well.

Students currently enrolled at Marshall University:

Students currently enrolled at Marshall University as a graduate student and who are in good academic standing may complete courses in ABA as electives by adding them to their Plan of Study .
