Prepare for National Exams

Ivy Tech's Associate of Science in Respiratory Therapy degree program prepares students to take the national board exams they'll need to take to begin practicing in the field. Graduates must pass the exams to earn a credential from the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC).

Associate Degree – Career-Ready Degree

  • The Ivy Tech Associate of Science (AS) in Respiratory Therapy degree program offers laboratory training on the same type of equipment that students will use as professional respiratory therapists. The program focuses on the knowledge and skills required to manage and treat lung disorders.

    If you would like to pursue a degree from a four-year college or university, you can save upward of $10,000 by completing your first two years at Ivy Tech and then transferring! Our Respiratory Therapy program currently has partnerships with two schools so you can seamlessly transfer without losing your credits or time:

    • Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
    • Indiana Wesleyan University

    Talk to our transfer advocates for information about continuing your education after completing your associate degree at Ivy Tech. You are also encouraged to contact the university to which you plan to transfer. Note that admission is not guaranteed just by enrolling in the Respiratory Therapy program. You will need to be admitted to the institution you intend to transfer to.

Respiratory therapy students must undergo background screening and drug screening upon acceptance into the program. They also must have the required vaccinations, including COVID.

The Ivy Tech Respiratory Therapy associate degree can be an academically challenging but rewarding program for the right student. Prior to applying, please review the following requirements and expectations for students in the program.

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all course meetings. Attendance is necessary to maximize student-learning opportunities. Students who are absent are responsible for missed material. Clinical courses require that the student be present to effectively evaluate successful achievement of clinical course objectives and concepts, as clinical course objectives cannot be accomplished or evaluated outside the clinical setting. There are no make-up sessions for missed clinical hours; therefore, regular clinical attendance is mandatory for successful clinical course and program completion.

Students will be required to provide their own transportation to and from clinical sites. Schedules vary based on campus. Please reach out to your campus of interest to learn more about meeting times and dates.

Mandatory Drug and Criminal Background Screenings

Students will be required to complete a background screening, drug screening, and required vaccinations (including COVID) upon acceptance into the program.

Time Commitment

The Respiratory Therapy associate degree program is a large time commitment. Due to the completion of required general education courses, students who enroll in the Respiratory Therapy Program are considered part-time and will need to follow the part-time course outline. Please refer to the table below.

Although students are considered part-time, many find it difficult to work full-time while completing their degrees as studying and homework outside of class time can take between 12-16 hours per week. Respiratory Therapy course schedules and assignment due dates will not be adjusted to accommodate individual work schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions

To learn more about the Health Sciences and Nursing application process, watch the below video, read the FAQ, or contact your campus of interest. 

Offers of Admission

Students can select up to three programs and three campuses each on the application. Offers of acceptance are for a specific program and campus. The offers are determined through eight rounds of auto-selection and six rounds of manual selection.

If a student is accepted, they will receive an email from the online application system to their Ivy Tech email account offering a seat in the program. Offers are emailed beginning within one week of the application close date and continue until program capacity is met or one week before the start of semester classes. Each round of offers begins at 6:00 am and applicants have until 11:59 pm the following day to either accept or reject an offer.

Depending on their rank and offers, a student could potentially receive multiple offers. Once one offer is accepted, the student is immediately withdrawn from all other offers and will be contacted by the chair or dean of the program with information about the program orientation date, time, and location.

If a student fails to respond, then the offer expires. If a student rejects an offer three (3) times, the application is removed from the auto-selection application pool but will then be available for manual selection rounds that occur later in the process.

Students do have the ability to withdraw an application at any point during the admission cycle. However, once an application is withdrawn, another one cannot be submitted until the next application cycle.

After You're Accepted

If you are accepted into the program—first off, congratulations!—you will be required to attend an orientation session at your local campus during the summer semester prior to beginning classes. An email will be sent following your acceptance with details about the session.

What If I Don’t Get Admitted?

The Respiratory Therapy program does not maintain a waitlist. Non-admitted applicants can reapply in the next application cycle, but we recommend that they meet with an advisor to begin planning and preparing for the reapplication process. Advisors can also assist students in exploring other programs of interest in Ivy Tech’s School of Health Sciences if they have applied several times and have not been accepted into the program.

What is Selective Admission?

The Respiratory Therapy program is a selective admissions program. Due to the nature of this program and the high number of applications received, we can only accept a small number of students each year. 

Weighted Point System

A weighted point system is used to evaluate applicants for admission. Student applications are assigned points based on their grades in prerequisite courses. Point totals for applicants receiving admission offers will vary between campuses. Point totals are not shared. 

If there is a tie, the tiebreaker will be determined by the student's Ivy Tech GPA from the spring semester.

Applicants can also receive an additional five points by uploading proof of the following licenses or certifications to their application: LPN, RN, military medic, EMT, Paramedic, or CNA.

Please note: 

  • Optional documents must be approved in order to receive optional points.
  • If an optional document is rejected, the application will process without optional points.
  • Only one license or certification document can be uploaded, and only one will receive optional points, if approved, for each relevant program.  
  • License or certification must be current and active.

General Education Weighted Point System

When multiple course attempts are reported on applicant transcripts (including transcripts from other colleges and universities), the highest earned grade of the first three attempts will be used for the selection decision score through the application period. Points for courses transferred from other institutions will be awarded from the grade recorded on the transcript from the other institution provided transfer credit appears on the Ivy Tech transcript.
