A new academic year at Wake Tech began Monday with a huge surge in enrollment and a new degree program!
The college welcomed more than 28,600 degree-seeking students for the first day of the Fall semester. That’s nearly 3,000 more students than this time last year – an 11% increase. It’s the highest enrollment in college history. More than 9,500 of those students are new to Wake Tech, which is also a record.
The college launched a Respiratory Therapy Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program at the Perry Health Sciences Campus. Respiratory Therapy is a five-semester program focused on developing proficiency in respiratory care practices, enabling graduates to carry out diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The program is designed to help address the critical shortage of respiratory therapists in Wake County.
