In anticipation of an increasing demand for training in development communications and educational technology for personnel from developing countries, A.I.D. commissioned an overview of U.S. and European institutions offering graduate training in these area. This document presents this overview in two volumes. Information provided in these volumes goes beyond that generally available in university catalogues. Course orientations and faculty backgrounds particularly germane to developing country needs are highlighted, although no judgement is made regarding the quality of course offerings. Emphasis is placed on training in broadcasting and in social science approaches to communication and development. Journalism training or training in the engineering aspects of communications are excluded. Volume I is an annotated listing of 70 institutions that either presently offer, or have the potential to offer, communication for development training. Institutions are listed in three categories, namely, U.S. universities, U.S. non-academic institutions, and Canadian and Western European organizations. Each institution is described briefly in terms of programs relevant to this survey, faculty a

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
