PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
What this route covers
The bachelor's program has a separate professional-program application for eligible pre-respiratory or admitted transfer students. The published application charge is $40; verify current instructions before applying.
Before you apply
Review the Respiratory Care course map and have an advisor evaluate prior credits and placement before registering.
Your complete timeline
Confirm prerequisites and clinical sequence. Allow separately for prerequisite preparation, selection and the clinical start date.
Plan around the schedule
Campus and clinical. Ask for the actual days, start times and required travel from Klamath Falls. Online coursework does not necessarily make laboratories or placements remote.
Application and selection
Use the official Respiratory Care page to review the current entry checklist. Ask whether a separate department application, selection process or cohort start applies before committing to enrollment.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
What comes before clinical admission, and where could rotations occur? Online degree completion has separate eligibility.
- Which required courses or placements are offered only once per year?
- Can you give me a written estimate covering every required term and practical expense?
- Which employment, transfer or licensing requirements remain after this award?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
Associate and bachelor’s entry routes combine science, clinical learning and respiratory care skills. Confirm prerequisites, credentialing exams and Oregon licensing. Online degree-completion programs may require prior training.
