Allied Health Technology (respiratory Care Concentration)

After completing a respiratory therapy degree program, graduates must take the certification exam to become a certified RT (CRT) or a registered RT (RRT). Every state (except Alaska) requires that RTs also obtain a state license. Almost all NY and NJ area hospitals have a need for these providers and are offering starting salaries of > $80,000/year with full benefits for licensed program graduates.

The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Allied Health Technology/Respiratory Care Concentration is a four-year program that provides the graduate with the knowledge, skills, and clinical experience to perform entry-level competencies as a Respiratory Therapist/Respiratory Care Practitioner in a range of health care settings. In addition, the program will provide curricular content including management, quality, finance, research, and advanced clinical practice for the graduate Respiratory Care Practitioner, to assume leadership roles in the health care profession.
