EXTENDED CURRICULUM - A student wishing to take the respiratory care curriculum in an extended program of study may do so by distributing the first two years of coursework over a three year period. This is also advantageous to those who prefer a less demanding study program. The student should request admission to the Division of Arts and Sciences for the first year. After the first semester in arts and sciences, the student may, upon application, be considered for admission to the respiratory care curriculum the following fall term. |
