No.

Calculus
Finite Math
Computer Basics
Computer 1 (where they are teaching Microsoft Access...EVERYONE knows respiratory therapist build databases every day)

I know I am forgetting some.
This is horse shit.
Doesn't seem too outrageous.
That's my reaction as well. Those courses seem pretty relevant for the respiratory specialist (therapist) job description:
Respiratory Therapist Job Description: Salary, Training and MoreRespiratory therapists assist patients of all ages who suffer from pulmonary (breathing) disorders. In addition to analyzing and performing diagnostic testing, respiratory therapists perform relevant exams and control patients blood-oxygen levels, as well as set up and utilize cardiopulmonary equipment and machines needed to assist or monitor the patients breathing.
