so I am really interested in respiratory therapy and I am planning on going to the East Los Angeles College respiratory therapy program after I am done with my generals. Its a great job but the only problem is the only university with a bachelors program in respiratory therapy is Loma Linda University which is about 1 hour and 30 minutes away from where I live. so i have a few questions?
1) is bachelors worth it for respiratory therapists?
2) what is the difference between bachelors and associate in respiratory therapy?
3) i heard you don’t neccessarily need to have a bachelors in respiratory therapy you can have a bachelors in anything else and it will count. if this is true what would be best to get a bachelors in?
4) is it not likely to pass the RRT exam with only an associates??
