Ideally, choose professors who knew you personally, and provide them with information on yourself (including your application materials for graduate school) so that they can write a strong letter. Do not choose non-academic employers as referees; they will not provide the kind of information we require on your academic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referees cannot email their reference letters to the department. Your application should include at least 2 referees and their official email addresses (university email addresses only). The referees will receive an email invitation asking them to upload their reference letter into your electronic application.
