Program Details
Professionals who want to broaden their knowledge and clinical capabilities are encouraged to pursue the Bachelor of Science in Cardio-Respiratory Care. This online degree is designed for practicing Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs) who have already completed an associate-level program. The bachelor-completion program allows students to achieve the next level in their education and specialize their studies in a specific area of interest.
The curriculum ensures that students learn current and emerging practices and trends in the field. RRTs with a related bachelor’s degree can expand into areas such as education, research, administration, disease management, laboratory settings, and more. Graduates can anticipate improved success on specialty credentialing examinations such as neonatal/pediatric specialty (RRT-NPS), pulmonary function testing (CPFT/RPFT), and adult critical care (ACCS).
