The Bachelors of Science in Respiratory Therapy (BSRSP) at UNCW prepares graduates with demonstrated competence in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains of respiratory care practice as performed by Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRT). Graduates will be prepared to address the need for healthcare leaders in the field of respiratory care. The proposed BSRSP features two options: a 4-year, residential, regular-term instruction option (RTI) and a degree completion option delivered in UNCW's online accelerated program (OAP) format. These options target two distinct student populations, including traditional 4-year residential students seeking entry-level preparation (4-year baccalaureate) and associate degree prepared RRTs (degree completion).
