Most colleges that offer programs in Respiratory Care are Community Colleges. However, there are several four year colleges now starting to offer four year degrees in Respiratory Care. I'm a Respiratory Therapist who graduated from a four year college. In my education, I was taught that a four year program is designed to prepare prospective therapists for the advanced level of Respiratory Therapy. A two year degree allows one to enter the field "entry level". As a Respiratory Therapist (RT), you have different credentials awarded by the NBRC (National Board of Respiratory Care). The entry level therapist is known as a CRT (Certified Respiratory Therapist. After passing the NBRC's CRT exam, a person with a four year degree is eligible to sit for the RRT exam (RRT is Registered Respiratory Therapist). This can be somewhat important because not only does it provide you with a little more job security, but in a lot of cases, an RRT earns more money. Unfortunately for me, this is not the case. I am an RRT, but at my hospital, it doesn't mean more money. But I do have several friends who I went to RT school with who do make more with the RRT credential.
In summary, I guess you really only need to go to college for two years, but a four year program should take you further.
