So far, I've found that Columbia Univ., Wayne State Univ., Yale Univ., Florida State Univ., California State Univ. offer an MFA program in Theatre Management, but I have know idea about the individual quality of the programs at each school. I would pick Yale, becaues of the prestige of the name, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're program is going to be the best. Wayne State actuall looks good, but that's because they will give you a decent stipend to go there and pay your room and tuition. That still doesn't mean that they have a great program. Also, I'm assuming that there are more schools that have this program, and I just haven't found them yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just decided that I want to do this, and I need to do my research fast, if I want to make the deadlines to start this Fall. Thanks!

Take a long studied look at Yale. It's a franchise. Success there is success for life if you enjoy that path.
It's a nice list you've made tho I'd warn you not to be swayed by stipends and scholarship. Ultimately it's not about the money, it's a three year investment that will pay off for the rest of your life.
And, just to be pesky, I'd suggest you look at CalArts, California Institute of the Arts -- it's a small private art school founded by Walt Disney.
It's pretty intense, think trial by fire.
