AS to MSRT

Our Associate of Science to Master of Science in Respiratory Therapy (AS to MSRT) program allows you to earn your master’s degree within three years.

Criteria

  • Associate of Science in Respiratory Therapy from a regionally accredited institution or WSU-accepted equivalent
  • Registered respiratory therapist (RRT) credential

Acceptance

If you meet the criteria, you’ll receive conditional acceptance to our MSRT program based on completing the Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy program during your first year.

Once you complete the bachelor’s degree requirements, you’ll matriculate into the MSRT program.

If you do not meet acceptance requirements at the end of your first year, you will be advised to complete undergraduate courses to earn your bachelor’s degree, but MSRT acceptance will not be guaranteed.
