The courses in this roadmap prepare students to apply for the Respiratory Care program at ARC.
Advising Notes:
- Students can substitute ESLW 340 for ENGWR 300/480.
- Students are advised to take only one lab science class per semester, to maximize their likelihood of success.
- Students are advised to not take a lab science class over the summer, to maximize their likelihood of success.
- GENSCI 90 and 91 are not degree applicable, but they help students maximize the likelihood of success. Their units do not count toward the 60 units needed for this degree.
Other Notes:
- The Respiratory Care program currently accepts students once per year for the spring semester, which begins in January. The deadline to submit an application is the second Friday in October.
- To apply to the Respiratory Care program at ARC, students must have a cumulative college GPA of 2.0 and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 in the following prerequisite courses, passing each course with a “C” or better: AH 311, BIOL 430, BIOL 431, BIOL 440 or 442.
- It is highly recommended that students complete all of their general education coursework prior to enrolling in the Respiratory Care program.
