I'm still researching schools that offer an HCI program. The closest thing i've seen for what you're looking for is the MBA in design strategy at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco.

Lancaster Uni in the UK is now offering a masters course from three departments - design, the management school and computing. It's the MRes in HCI. There is also an extended 4 year course which adds a phd onto that from the same departments. Might be of interest to some. highwire.lancaster
