Yes, you can submit a letter of recommendation (LOR) from either a previous employer or a professor for your MBA application.

A professional reference from your job is often preferred, especially if it highlights your leadership, teamwork, and managerial skills. However, a professor’s LOR is also valuable, particularly if you have strong academic connections or limited work experience.
