Applicants are required to obtain a minimum of 2 references to support their application. References can be either Academic (Professor, Teaching Assistant, Research, etc), or Professional (Employer, Mentor, Coach, etc), or any combination of the two. While entering reference contact information, you have the option to check the box "Send Reference Request" which, when the record is saved, will automatically send an email to your reference with a link to the evaluation to be completed. No further action on your part will be necessary. You will receive a notification when your reference has completed the evaluation and their responses will automatically be attached to your application. We encourage you to request your references as early in the application process as possible to allow your referees sufficient time to respond. Completed references must be received within two weeks of your application submission date. You are required to submit 2 references to fulfill this requirement. PLEASE NOTE: We are able to make admission decisions and invite candidates to interview with or without having references on file. However, after the interview stage, an offer of admission cannot be made without them.

IELTS/TOEFL While a GMAT or GRE score is not required, it may be recommended to help strengthen your application.
