A plethora of scholars and practitioners have suggested the dire need for human capacity development for developing economies in the domains of ICT, Engineering, Management and Sustainable Development. Most developing economies face challenges in establishing and sustaining such degree programs, namely, the acute lack of qualified faculty and the exodus of the few graduating talents to the West. The ICT University (ICT-U) is a plausible solution to the aforementioned challenges.The ICT-U is an accredited University offering a hybrid of onsite and online diploma, undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Faculty members come from every continent of the world, hence representing a very globally diverse group. Our curricula and pedagogies are internationally focused and locally relevant to developing economies. The distinctive characteristic of ICT-U is that it goes beyond conventional modes of higher education to provide a creative and challenging educational platform on which scholars can develop their potential. Scholars(sometimes at the undergraduate level also) are required to conduct research, publish and present their research in academic and practitioner conferences and seminars. In the doctoral program, for example, students are required to develop a thesis/dissertation and to publish academic journal and conference papers before completion of the program. Scholars are individually mentored by international reputed faculty to ensure successful program completion.
