Working in ABA therapy in Tempe

Tempe offers a local ABA graduate pathway at ASU and free neighborhood shuttle routes. Training requirements, state licensure, campus logistics, and transit schedules are distinct; verify each against your goals and work site.

Work arrangements listed: On site (2), Remote (1). Arrangement not specified for 7 listings. Employment types listed: Full time (3), Internship (1). Employment type not specified for 6 listings.

ASU’s Tempe-campus ABA master’s pathway

Arizona State University lists a full-time, two-year MS in Applied Behavior Analysis at its Tempe campus. The program description specifies 345 classroom hours and 2,000 hours of supervised practicum and says it is designed to align with the BACB test content outline. This is a local education option for people planning a BCBA path, not a job placement promise.

Arizona licensure is a separate step. The Arizona Board describes its own LBA requirements, including a supervised-fieldwork pathway; current Board materials note 1,500 hours under the applicable general route and Arizona-specific supervisor conditions. Do not assume every practicum hour automatically satisfies both the BACB and Arizona Board rules. Confirm how hours count with ASU and the Board before enrolling or accepting a supervised placement.

Free Orbit routes connect Tempe neighborhoods

Tempe’s Orbit is a free neighborhood circulator with six named routes: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The City says routes connect neighborhoods with destinations such as schools, shopping areas, major bus routes, and multi-generational centers. Most routes run seven days a week, usually every 15 minutes, with 30-minute frequency on Sundays; check the individual route schedule for exceptions.

The City also publishes semester-period extra trips on parts of Mars and Mercury, which end at designated expansion points. If you are comparing a clinic commute, check the route map and current service notice for both directions and the exact stop near the employer. Orbit service is local transit context, not a guarantee that a job site is within walking distance of a stop.
