Completing the Bachelor's Degree
Upon graduation with an associate degree, you only need six additional courses to obtain a bachelor's degree from KU. After you complete your associate degree, you can take the examinations to earn your registered respiratory therapy (RRT) credential. After earning your RRT credential, you can complete the six remaining bachelor's degree courses through KU's online Respiratory Therapy Degree Advancement Program.
