For students who are applying directly from undergrad, we recommend two academic and one professional reference. For students who are applying from the workforce, we recommend two professional and one academic reference. These are guidelines and not requirements. Recommenders must submit letters via the ApplyYourself system – we cannot accept letters via third-party systems such as Interfolio.
While we’ll try to accommodate your needs, our deadlines are based on timelines set by the university’s Office of Global Services (OGS) and are generally strict.
If you cannot meet these deadlines, you may need to defer your enrollment to a future term. Feel free to contact the Khoury Graduate Admissions Team or the Office of Global Services with any questions.
