This is taught with project management in most schools. You will already have seen that the number of programmes with that in the title is limited:

http://www.keller.edu/content/kelleredu/graduate-degree-programs/masters-degree-programs/masters-project-management.html
I think a world class university's masters in project management will be a better academic training. The state of the art in project management is in engineering and especially in construction. Don't be too surprised if many of them are in engineering schools rather than business schools:

Hello Duncan,
Many thanks for your very useful advices.
However, while posting in this forum, I have initiated some searches through other means and found "Program Management" curriculum exist but in Business Schools (eg. HEC and Oxford).
I agree with you "Project Management" curriculum is certainly a good start but cannot cover the needs to address specific role and responsibilities of a Program Manager. This specific role is more importantly than a "Project Manager" involved in subjects like Contract Management, Company Strategy, Finance and Accounting and of course with more important leadership.
Many thanks again for your help.
Best regards,
Frederic.
