Applicants are required to submit two letters of recommendation from academic or work-related references. The letters of recommendation should demonstrate insight into your teamwork, leadership, communication, intellectual and interpersonal skills and abilities as well as your level of maturity, strengths, and weaknesses. Applicants can follow the steps in the online application to prompt references to submit their letters of recommendation, or the references can email their letters of recommendation to GraduateAdmissions@limcollege.edu stating in the email who the attached letter is for.

Students must submit an official transcript from the institution in which the applicant holds an undergraduate degree.

If an undergraduate degree was completed outside the United States, the Office of Admissions may request your transcript is evaluated by the World Education Service, AACRAO International Education Services or another evaluation agency approved by NACES.
