The Bachelor of Science in Cardiorespiratory Care Science (CRCS) aims to equip graduates with comprehensive expertise across three key areas: theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and professional conduct, aligning with the standards expected of registered respiratory therapists (RRTs). This program cultivates future leaders in respiratory care through specialized coursework focusing on essential competencies in:
administrative leadership,
instructional methods,
scientific inquiry,
and specialized patient care.
Structured as a four-year academic journey, students undertake foundational general education requirements in the initial two years before progressing to advanced CRCS coursework in the final two years. Successful completion leads to Tennessee State University conferring a Bachelor of Science degree with a specialization in Cardiorespiratory Care Science.
