The Respiratory Care Department offers unique educational opportunities! We offer both 2-year Associate and 4-year Baccalaureate degree options.

Both degrees qualify students to become  Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRT).

The two-year Associate degree provides the student with an excellent foundation in Respiratory Care. The four-year degree Bachelor degree is designed for individuals who wish to specialize or work toward leadership positions within the profession. Bachelor degree students, in conjunction with their faculty advisor, may choose desired areas of professional specialization in their clinical rotations.

Professional specializations include:

  • Neonatal Care
  • Cardiopulmonary Diagnostics
  • Helicopter Transport
  • Patient Education
  • Management
  • Homecare
