Program Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy program is a 2+2 program, meaning that the student completes the first two years at any accredited college or university of choice, and the last two years at Augusta University. All 2+2 students begin the program in the fall semester after completing a core curriculum. The program consists of five semesters and includes classroom and clinical education.
Only 18% of therapists have a BS in Respiratory Therapy. Therapists with a BS are able to work in fields such as pharmaceutical sales or management which command higher salaries.
