Associate professor?

[kurite]

I am currently filling out my letters of recommendation for my primary application. The woman I work for at the university is an associate professor. What should I use as the prefix? The only option that I could see fitting is simply Ms. or just Prof.
Thanks

Does she have a PhD? Then you can use Dr. Otherwise I'd use Professor.

Most associate professors still have PhDs, they're just relatively new.

I had a physics professor who was in the process of getting his PhD... I would have listed him as professor had I needed to reference him on AMCAS at the time (he has since finished his PhD)

You really can't go wrong with the title, "Professor".

Would it be better to us Dr. instead of Professor if he/she has a PhD?

"Professor [last name] is never incorrect if the person is a faculty member. Dr. can work but it requires more work; what about the Sc.D, DrPH, D.Div., LCSW, it requires a lot more digging to figure out if the person has a degree that requires the title "doctor".
