PERSONAL GOALS ESSAY
Personal Goals Essays are important. They need to be a minimum of 500 words in length, and should describe your academic and professional goals. Professional jobs in the field of information and library science value leadership, teamwork, creativity, and the ability to work with people. For your essay, think about why you want to come to graduate school in this field. Your writing skills demonstrated in this statement are also considered as part of the admission decision. Essays should be in your own words, and written with academic integrity.
Recommendation Letter:
Letters of Reference need to be from professors or employers who are familiar with your abilities and can estimate how well you would do in a rigorous graduate program in this field. Three letters are needed. We will accept letters in any format, as long as contact information is included.
