There are strong master's level programs at Harvard, Columbia (Teacher's College), Stanford and U Penn.

A little late, but I went to Penn for IEDP. You can ask questions if you still have them.

I was admitted to the U.Penn IEDP program. I'm currently trying to decide between Penn, NYU-International Education and American-International Development. I also got accepted into Loyola Chicago's Cultural and Educational Policy Studies program, but that is more of a safety for me. I am still waiting to hear back from Vanderbilt for the IEPM and Teacher's College-IEDP. I agree that Penn's internship is a huge selling point for me. I love the fact that it is required to be international and GSE places you in the internship. The cohort size is also very appealing to me. Can anyone speak to NYU's International Education program? It seems like a great program as well, and the previous partnering organizations for internships are amazing. However I think most internships are domestic and with international education it is much more widespread, with everything from running study abroad programs to education development. I'm not sure how I feel about a program that is not hyper-focused on development. American seems great as well, but I currently live in Arlington and honestly some of my resistance to attend stems from staying in this area, for now. American also seems to be slightly more expensive than U. Penn. But can anyone speak to their international development program, specifically for education development?  Also for tuition at U. Penn it is listed by number of course units, with grad. students maxing out at 5 per semester. I'm assuming that 1 course unit is one class, as the IEDP program is 10 courses over 1.5 years (including internship).
