Respiratory Therapist, Advanced Placement Sequence
Certified Respiratory Therapists (CRT) can earn advanced placement in the Respiratory Therapist associate degree program. Certified therapists who earned a Respiratory Care Technology certificate from KCC will have satisfied the requirements for BIOL 1564, RESP 1324, RESP 1331, RESP 1113, RESP 1445, RESP 1224, RESP 2213, RESP 2445, and RESP 2225. Certified therapists who graduated from a different program will be evaluated on an individual basis. This degree typically is not designed for transfer.
Note: If you are interested in transferring to a four-year college/university, work with a KCC advisor to learn your options. This degree is not part of the Illinois Articulation Initiative statewide transfer agreement. However, many universities make it possible to continue on to a bachelor’s degree with minimal disruption.
