Information and Communication Technology for Development
ATLAS has proposed a Master of Science degree in Information and Communication Technology for Development (MS-ICTD) that would begin in the fall of 2010. The program would prepare students for careers in the use of information and communications technology to advance the lives of people in developing communities. The program would offer students the opportunity to:
• Understand how access, social equity, sustainability and appropriate design and distribution influence development outcomes.
• Understand the essential relationships between technology, society and development theory and practice.
• Collaborate effectively across development disciplines and diverse communities in the creation, deployment and evaluation of development solutions.
The ATLAS Institute seeks applicants for the MS-ICTD program from a wide variety of backgrounds, including high technology/engineering, International Development, and students from the Global South. The MS-ICTD program will equally emphasize technology and global development, while introducing students to fieldwork methods, sustainable entrepreneurship, and custom electives to best prepare students for work in policy, advocacy and product and program design.
