i've gotten a few emails from people who want to find out more about such programs (both masters and phd). for those interested in the technical side of ictd uw, berkeley, gatech, mit, cmu, nyu all have faculty who do some form of academic and technical ictd. based on papers at conferences, i'd say uw, berkeley and gatech have the most active faculty and students. i tend to know about the universities in the states, but uct in cape town and makere in kampala are also quite active. for those interested in the development side of ictd, i have no clue. try {information, business,economics,policy,health} schools and drilling down from there. i've put up a public document at http://goo.gl/jY1rj. if we pool our knowledge, perhaps we can get a reasonable list of going. we will need a champion of this effort, so send me an email if you are interested. once we get a good list, we can make this a resource for the ictd community.

Master of Science in Information and Communication Technology for Development (MS-ICTD) at University of Colorado at Boulder.
The MS-ICTD degree prepares students for careers in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to advance people and communities in developing nations and underserved or impoverished regions. Students are trained to address issues of access, social equity, sustainability, appropriate design and distribution.
The two-year program includes three semesters in residence and a one-semester practicum, that is, an internship or service project with a company engaged in ICTD efforts. Organizations participating in the practicum may be public or private sector, international development agencies, foundations and/or non-governmental organizations.
