Admission Requirements

To enter Seminole State's Respiratory Care Program, students must meet the following criteria:

• Complete a Seminole State online application. If you prefer, you can download a Printed Application for Admission or obtain one from the Seminole State Admissions Office. You may also request to have one sent to you by calling 407.708.2050.
• Complete a Respiratory Care Program application.
• Have a high school diploma or GED.
• Take the Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT).
• Possess at least an intermediate algebra skill level.
• Have grades of "C" or higher in Anatomy and Physiology I (BSC 2093C) and English I (ENC 1101).
• Have an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher.
• Submit to a background check after program admission. All students entering a healthcare program with a clinical component are required to complete a criminal background check. Students must be free of offenses that could potentially disqualify them from working in a healthcare environment (Florida Statute 400.211).
