Are recommendation letters from college professors acceptable for my application for a MBA?

Yes, recommendation letters from college professors are generally acceptable, but for MBA applications, professional references are usually preferred.

With your 8 years of work experience, it's best to prioritize recommenders who can speak to your professional achievements and leadership skills - such as supervisors, colleagues, or clients. Academic references from college professors are typically considered only if you have limited work experience or if the professor can provide unique insights that complement your professional recommendations.

If you’re unsure which recommenders to choose, your LeapScholar counsellor can help you decide based on your target MBA programs’ requirements.
