Respiratory Therapy Dual Exit Stream

Respiratory Therapy (RT) Diploma/Bachelor of Health Science (BHSC) Degree

Although all students are admitted into the 3 year RT diploma program, there are two completion options. Option one, is a 3 year Diploma stream, while option two is a 4 year dual Diploma/ Degree stream. The dual Diploma/ Degree stream allows successful students to graduate with both a 3 year RT diploma and a 4 year Bachelor of Health Science Degree within a four year period. Students delare interest to enter into the Diploma/ Degree stream during year one of the program. There are a limited number of seats in the stream, and admission into the dual stream is selective.

All RT diploma courses are delivered through the Allied Health department. The BHSc courses are delivered through the Open Learning division, and you must register with TRU-OL for these. During years two and three of the dual exit stream students will complete a combination of RT diploma, lower level BHSc, and some upper level BHSc courses.
