Clubs and Organizations

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Club (Troy Campus)

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific discipline concerned with designing and implementing techniques based on learning principles to change behavior of social significance. In other words, ABA uses our understanding of how behavior works and applies it to real world situations. You can teach someone academic skills, daily living skills, social skills, etc. ABA is often used for children or adults with developmental disabilities and autism. However, ABA can be used to change socially-relevant behavior in a wide range of contexts (e.g., health, sports, organizations, education). Troy University offers an ABA minor with eighteen credit hours, including Practicum classes, during which students gain direct experience in ABA assessment and interventions. The ABA Club is open to all majors and minors.

Psychology Club (Troy Campus)

The Psychology Club located on the Troy Campus strives to teach students about the field of psychology through fun interactive meetings and events that center around psychological issues. Each year the psychology club chooses an organization to fund-raise for, which helps us better connect with the community. Past organizations the club has donated to include: Troy's Boys and Girls' home, The Magnolia Home located in Troy, and Magic Moments (a children's wish granting charity). The club is open to all students on the Troy campus regardless of major.
