What majors to take to become a respiratory therapist?

• I want to become a respiratory therapist and i am trying to figure out what to major in

• Answer:

  Respiratory therapists need at least an Associate's degree but some positions may require more advanced schooling. These medical professionals generally work with patients of different ages and treat individuals with conditions like asthma. Respiratory therapists begin their careers by completing an Associate's degree, but a bachelor's or master's degree may lead to better career opportunities. Core courses include chemistry, biology, anatomy and physiology. Some bachelor's degree programs require students to complete these courses as prerequisites with a satisfactory grade point average before being admitted to the respiratory therapy program. Schools may offer integrated programs that lead to a bachelor's and master's degree upon completion
