Traditional Track (R, A, L)The Respiratory Therapy (RT) program is a four-year program distributed over nine semesters. Foundational courses are delivered within the first two years. The blend of classroom, lab, and clinical components is designed to prepare students for careers as Respiratory Therapists. RT courses begin in the junior year and are interspersed with other foundational courses. Students wishing to decrease their course load in the Junior and Senior years may take some of their required foundational courses prior to beginning the first semester of their junior year of the program. The Respiratory Therapy program requires that RT courses (with a RETH prefix) must be taken in the sequence listed. Students must successfully complete the first- two years of the plan of study before advancing to the junior year with a GPA of 2.5 or above. Any deviation from this policy must be approved by the Program Director. The student must achieve a minimum grade of C in the professional courses, as well as meeting prerequisite or co-requisite requirements in order to advance to the next semester. | ||||
