Two letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation are an important way for us to get to know you. We ask that you complete the recommendation request for your references when you complete your application so that they can complete your recommendation online.

It is recommended that the portfolio show both the process and execution of a project, along with problem solving and research is recommended.

This will allow the admissions committee to review applications more efficiently while ensuring that no content is overlooked.
