ABSTRACT
Behavior analyst is one of the newer and lesser known career paths you can take with a graduate degree in child and adolescent development. You may begin at the level of behavioral technician while still an undergraduate in child and adolescent development. However, to advance in this career you must take a board-certified exam and obtain either a Masters or Doctorate degree. As with other careers in this textbook, you may earn other degrees to follow this career path. Child and adolescent development is an option, as are psychology and education. However, we believe that a degree in child and adolescent development is the best preparation.
