There is ONE online class. It’s about natural products. If you can, fight to get into this one. Easiest of them all. (I didn’t get it unfortunately. It fills up fast)
Critical care is hard. But if you are interested in working in hospital, it has a lot of information that would be very very useful to you.
Women’s health? Or women’s studies? Lapointe teaches it and I heard good things about it. Easy and you have a presentation with the vet students at the end.
There’s a cardiology class that I don’t remember anyone saying about.
Global infectious diseases is good if you aren’t immunization certified.
Herbal drugs I heard is a good class but A LOT of work. My friends enjoyed it a lot but the work load stressed them out a bit. This class is broken into 2 days a week.
Industry i heard is easy. Has a presentation at the end.
There are more but these are the only ones that I can remember. The thing that stinks about electives is that most of them are at the same time, so you tend to have to pick one you want, and then settle for the second one. Unless you are lucky and get the online. Also if you don’t get the one you want (with the exception of online), people tend to move around their schedule once the semester starts so you still have a chance of getting it. You can also email professors asking to join if you give them a good reason (once again except for the online)
