Program Admission Process

Our Health Career programs are limited enrollment programs with specific admission requirements. In order to get on the qualified list, you must complete the Health Careers Respiratory Therapist (RTH) application found at the Health Careers Admissions Process site and all the RTH admission requirements. It is recommended that students interested in a health career meet with the Health Careers Academic Advisor located in Building G, 2nd floor, G-203. Make an appointment with the Health Careers Academic Advisor early in your planning process. This will allow you to discuss program options and create an academic plan to qualify for the selected program.

Due to the number of credit hours required for program completion and the intensity of the program, students are encouraged to complete as many of the Required Support Courses as possible prior to entering the program. The first courses that a student should complete are those required for program admission followed by the other Required Support Courses.
