Letters of Recommendation

Required letters: 3 minimum , 3 maximum

Committee letters: Accepted

Two of the letters should be from college instructors or faculty who know you well and can address your personal characteristics. The final letter should be from a supervisor (paid or volunteer) whom you have worked with and knows you well enough to speak to the characteristics. Who the letters are from is up to each applicant, but diversity is encouraged. Non-traditional applicants who have been out of school for a number of years may choose to include more letters from supervisors than faculty.
