Recommendation Letter:
Applicants should arrange for three letters of recommendation supporting their application. The PhD Committee prefers that recommendations be written by people who know the demands of rigorous, research-oriented doctoral program and can comment confidently on the applicant's ability to complete the program successfully as well his or her potential as a researcher. This usually means that referees are academics familiar with the applicant's scholastic and research potential. Where applicants have been away from an academic environment for an extended period of time, non-academic references may be substituted. In this case, care should be taken to emphasize to the referee that the applicant's academic research potential, rather than managerial or teaching capability, is of primary interest to the PhD Committee.
