At the Kinney Center for Autism Education and Support, students from all majors develop the professional skills needed to find career success in a neuro-diverse world. Our approach is twofold: educate and train the autism professionals of tomorrow while supporting and serving individuals and families affected by autism today.

The Kinney Difference:

  • 96 percent of Kinney SCHOLAR graduates are employed or in graduate school (2018).
  • 100 percent average pass rate for the Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) exam (compare with a national average of 65 percent).
  • 85 percent matriculation rate for participants in the ASPIRE program.
  • 10+ years of service in autism education and support.

Since 2009, the Kinney Center for Autism Education and Support has been a pioneer in the autism field:

  • Undergraduate and graduate programs in autism studies.
  • On-campus ASPIRE program in support of students with autism.
  • First-of-its-kind autism break room in Hagan Arena to support families attending Saint Joseph's Hawks basketball games.
