As a practicing respiratory therapist, you have the important role of helping patients with the most essential function in life: breathing. This degree-completion program will advance your clinical and professional practice through an interdisciplinary curriculum that incorporates research, critical analysis, and evidence-based approaches.
For this online program, you may choose to complete the 36 credits on a part-time (24-month) or full-time (12-month) basis, and you'll have the flexibility to take all courses, except Capstone, in any order. With the advantage of a small class, instructors—who are regional subject matter experts—will train you on a personal level to broaden the field of respiratory care through collaborative practice and advanced assessment.
A Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy is the preferred degree as designated by the American Association for Respiratory Care. This degree offers the opportunity for registered respiratory therapists who hold an associate degree to build upon core competencies and develop skills such as leadership, teaching, and communication to improve their delivery of patient-centered respiratory care. |
