I'm taking post-bac classes through a CC on my base. I got to know my Abnormal Psychology instructor very well and feel she could write a strong LoR for me. The issue is is that she was a Master's student that got accepted to law school. She probably stopped teaching this semester. Is there any way I could use a letter from her as my non-science letter? I've been out of school for several years now, and it's somewhat difficult for me to obtain these, though I'm definitely trying.

A PhD generally looks better but I think you could use her if you’ve got no other options.

Get one from real Faculty.
 
CC faculty only need a master's, at least in the two states I've gone to school in. Most have a PhD though

Also, I didn't have a non science letter and got interviews from schools that wanted them
