As a respiratory therapist, you will join a high-demand field devoted to the study, care, and treatment of disorders related to the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems. Respiratory therapists have advanced knowledge of some of the most innovative and high-tech equipment in medicine.
Our graduates are trained to deliver advanced care in many settings, such as ICUs, emergency rooms, labor and delivery, rehabilitation centers, and homecare. This is a great field if you are interested in health, biology, math, chemistry, and physics.
Edgewood College is currently the only program of its kind in the state of Wisconsin (Commission on Accreditation in Respiratory Care Education CoARC) to offer an entry-into-practice bachelor’s degree in Respiratory Care.
Through this program, you will become a baccalaureate-prepared respiratory therapist, qualified to treat patients with heart and lung diseases, by completing our traditional 4-year residential program. You will apply to the program your sophomore year and spend your last year focusing exclusively on respiratory care.
We also offer a second track, a Post-Professional (completion) program, for practicing Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs).
