Respiratory Therapy
Program Curriculum
Marion Technical College and Rhodes State College have entered into a health care partnership in order to offer an associate degree in Respiratory Care to MTC students beginning this summer. This agreement allows MTC students to take general education courses at MTC, and a blend of respiratory technology courses from Rhodes State. The plan will have Clinical experiences available close to Marion.
A very important aspect of the Respiratory Care program is that these seats are reserved for qualified MTC students or individuals living in MTC's service area.
