International students intending to practice as a respiratory therapist outside of the US should refer to country-specific requirements for licensure\/work authorization. International students are important to the fabric of the Butler student community; however, no special consideration is granted for an international student.

Pre-Respiratory Therapy majors who do not meet the criteria to enter into the Respiratory Therapy professional phase upon their first attempt may continue with the Pre-Respiratory Therapy major for a maximum of four semesters. During this time, they may repeat the requisite coursework or continue with core classes. They must again apply for admission through the supplement application process. If students fail to achieve admission into the Respiratory Therapy program at the end of four semesters of Butler enrollment, they will be required to change their major under the guidance of their academic advisor.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"butler-accordion-item wp-block-butler-accordion-item\" id=\"accordion-item-e1b94199-4327-4fc4-add1-955f7d977210\">\n\t<div class=\"butler-accordion-header\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"butler-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t<button id=\"accordion-item-e1b94199-4327-4fc4-add1-955f7d977210-trigger\" class=\"butler-accordion-toggle\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-e1b94199-4327-4fc4-add1-955f7d977210-panel\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\tAre there any advantages to going to Butler for Pre-RT?\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"accordion-item-e1b94199-4327-4fc4-add1-955f7d977210-panel\" class=\"butler-accordion-item-content\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-e1b94199-4327-4fc4-add1-955f7d977210-trigger\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Butler University Pre-RT students who have met the prerequisite requirements are at an advantage in the admission process because they are guaranteed an interview and direct entry into the professional phase of the program.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"butler-accordion-item wp-block-butler-accordion-item\" id=\"accordion-item-110d7dc0-762d-48de-b3e3-53cfb8509cde\">\n\t<div class=\"butler-accordion-header\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"butler-accordion-title\">\n\t\t\t<button id=\"accordion-item-110d7dc0-762d-48de-b3e3-53cfb8509cde-trigger\" class=\"butler-accordion-toggle\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-110d7dc0-762d-48de-b3e3-53cfb8509cde-panel\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\tAre there advantages for having served in the military?\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"accordion-item-110d7dc0-762d-48de-b3e3-53cfb8509cde-panel\" class=\"butler-accordion-item-content\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-110d7dc0-762d-48de-b3e3-53cfb8509cde-trigger\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Butler University recognizes persons who have served in the United States Armed Services.
