    Concerning the transition from technical person to management person ...

    The University of St. Thomas in St. Paul MN also offers formal education
    along these lines through its Master of Science in Technology Management.
    More information at
    http://department.stthomas.edu/grad/showprogram.cfm?ProgramID=10

    I can't speak for the quality, although I know at least one person in my
    company took the degree.

    University of Phoenix ... on ground in many states and online from Phoenix
    ...
    has a Masters of Science in Technology Management (which is more techie
    oriented) and a Masters of Science in Computer Information Systems (more
    business oriented for the techies), and a Masters of Business Administration
    with an IS orientation, for those planning on knowledgement management
    careers, not necessarily technical careers.

    I do teach within the program and my most challenging students are the
    techie heavies who want to focus on the operational and tactical issues of
    hardware and software instead of the people and strategies issues of senior
    management.
