Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of Courses
OUR PROGRAM
The intensive delivery of the Behavioural Science Technology program leading to a diploma in less than one year is available at George Brown
college for applicants who have a bachelor’s degree with a major in Psychology.
This program provides students with an opportunity to study applied behaviour analysis and behavioural intervention. The themes in the program
include behavioural theory and application, program development, scientific method, ethics and professionalism, professionally related courses,
diversity and general education with a major emphasis on practical application in the field.
Students must meet the requirements of the George Brown College preplacement student health passport before attending a field placement.
Note: Students must meet all medical and legal requirements for this program outlined on the Pre-Placement Health Form. This may take 6
to 8 weeks. To see those requirements go to www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement.
In compliance with requests from our student placement partners, all students in this program must have a police reference check completed
before their field placement. These reference checks, which can take several weeks, are done to protect the clientele of these agencies,
who are considered “vulnerable persons” under the law. The fees for the reference checks vary and must be paid by the student.
Students are responsible for ensuring that the check covers appropriateness for “individuals being employed and/or volunteering who
will be working with vulnerable person(s).” Students who are unable to provide a clear police reference check will be unable to complete
their field placement and, therefore, be unable to complete the program.
This program is unique in the Greater Toronto Area.
YOUR CAREER
Graduates of the program are employed in a variety of settings with diverse clinical populations of all ages who frequently present challenging
behaviours. They may work to develop and implement behavioural interventions designed to manage challenging behaviours and/or teach a variety
of skills. Graduates may find employment in schools, hospitals, residential and treatment facilities and rehabilitation and vocational agencies.
