The BS in Respiratory Therapy is a completely online program that trains students in all the necessary skills, knowledge and technical expertise required for Respiratory Therapists to advance their careers including management opportunities, graduate school, and specialized clinical practice.
Core Courses: 28 credits, Advanced Courses: 22 credits
All core courses must be completed prior to enrolling in advanced courses
For students who plan to continue on to our MSRT (Master of Science in Respiratory Therapy) program, there is an accelerated option that allows students to take some of their core MSRT courses before they graduate with their BSRT. This allows students to start their graduate degree while still paying the undergraduate rate for classes. For more information, reference the PDF by clicking on the button below.
