RT students take courses such as assessment, disabling conditions, clinical procedures, facilitation techniques, trends and issues in RT, abnormal psychology, human development, anatomy/physiology, helping skills, and medical terminology. RT students also can minor in areas such as human development, gerontology, psychology, or sign language.
