The Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy (BSRT) program is an online degree designed for practicing respiratory therapists to complete while working. In this degree advancement program, Respiratory Therapists transition from an Associate degree to a Bachelor degree at their own pace or in as little as 12 months with our accelerated program.
The BSRT Program at the University of Michigan-Flint promotes the study of respiratory leadership, administration, education, and advanced respiratory care in specialty areas such as critical care, disease management, and diagnostics. The program prepares graduates to practice as advance clinicians, administrators, educators, and other professional specialties. Additionally, the program prepares students to sit for advanced credentials awarded by the National Board for Respiratory Care which includes Neonatal Pediatric Specialty (NPS), Adult Critical Care Specialty (ACCS), Registered Pulmonary Function Technologist Specialty (RPFT), and Sleep Disorders Specialty (SDS) credentials.

- Certification in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for Health Care Providers from the American Heart Association. This certification must remain current throughout the program and must be completed before the clinical practicum.
