- Letters of recommendation (usually two or three), from academic or professional sources[1][2][7].
- Personal statement or essay explaining your interest in informatics and career goals[1][2][7].
- Resume or CV detailing academic and professional experience[1][2][7].
- Some programs expect prior technical coursework or technical readiness in areas like HTML, CSS, a programming language, or information systems, or work experience in a related field[3].
