    • Regarding the statement of objectives (400-700 words), incorporate your general interests and your background, as well as your long-term professional goals.
    • Here are some guiding questions: What are your reasons for wanting to do graduate work in your chosen field of study at ERAU specifically? What types of experience/education do you have that would make you a good candidate for the program? How do you hope to use the degree in the future?
  • Letters of Recommendation: Three letters from your current or former professors, current or former employers, or a community leader can address areas of your background which are not always evident  in your academic record. Letters of Recommendation forms are available for your convenience in PDF format. The forms are not required. Letters of Recommendation need to be submitted directly to us by your references.
