LBA

LBA (Minnesota Licensed Behavior Analyst) / BCBA
32hours / 2-year renewal cycle
No live / interactive hours required — all hours may be self-study
Mandated topics
  • Ethics — 4 hBACB standard for BCBA recertification
  • Supervision — 3 hBACB standard; required only for those who supervise/provide fieldwork supervision

Home study: No state cap; BACB permits recorded/online (learning) CEUs broadly, subject to BACB's own format rules.

Board notes: Minnesota licenses behavior analysts (Licensed Behavior Analyst, LBA) through the Board of Psychology. Minn. Stat. 148.9984 requires renewal every 2 years and, as a condition of renewal, evidence of a current and active national certification as a behavior analyst (BCBA/BCBA-D from the BACB). Minnesota statute/rule specifies no separate state CE hour total, so the effective CE standard is the BACB recertification baseline: 32 CEUs per 2-year cycle including 4 ethics CEUs, plus 3 supervision CEUs for those who supervise. If the Board later adopts its own CE rule this may change.
