How many years of college are required to become a respiratory therapist?

According to the Stevens-Henager College website, an Associate’s Respiratory Therapist degree takes 20 months while a Bachelor’s takes 36 months for completion. While an Associate’s degree does not always offer the same salary and managerial positions as a Bachelor’s, it’s a great stepping stone for you if you’re on a tight budget and don’t want to give up on your dreams simply because of the lack of money. Later on, you can get a full bachelor’s. Most people go to college with an undecided major which is ok but it’s so much better when you have your eyes set on an attainable goal. All the best!
