Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care
Changes in health care require new skill sets and advanced knowledge in the field of respiratory care to meet requirements within the hospital setting and provide specific duties that exceed that of conventional respiratory care practitioners.

- Advanced Clinical Practitioners who perform duties beyond that which a typical respiratory care practitioner is prepared.
- Subject matter experts responsible for developing protocols within the department and throughout the hospital environment.
- Subject matter experts working in the medical device industry.
- Educator and leadership positions within the health care setting.
