Which majors for undergraduate.

Hey everyone,
I know that I'm gonna do MBA for my graduate but I still don't know what to do for undergraduate
What do you think is the best undergraduate major for a young entreprenuer? Business? Economics?...

Thanks

I am getting my undergrad in entrepreneurship. But if your school does not offer that I would say finance would be a great major, always need to know the money side of things.

what's the difference between entrepreneurship and business?

Neither. Both those degrees are useless for the most part for an entrepreneur, if that's what you're aiming for. Some classes maybe useful to take but you don't need to major in those majors to take them. For the most part intro microeconomics and macroeconomics is really all the economics you'll need. Same with business clases. Pick a major that is better fitted for what you want to do.

Entrepreneurship focuses on helping entrepreneurs learn how to build a business (albiet some programs aren't that great). Traditional business administration majors such as international, accounting, finance, marketing, etc.. focus on helping people find jobs in those appropriate fields such as a marketing position, a CPA accountant, etc.. There are some overlap in the curriculum though.

Go for what you're passionate about. You might not even NEED a degree. I did finance, which helps with the money side, but I left that to do what I'm passionate about.

I just graduated this past June with a degree in Accounting and Entrepreneurship. Let me tell you that school is NOT what you think it is. I didn't really learn much in either program and if I did, it's something that I could have found out on my own in less than 5 minutes time. That being said, am I going to be going for my CPA? Yes. Do I plan on doing a graduate program of some sort? Yes. Why might you ask, especially since I said that school is useless. It's because that's what companies are looking for. They want that nice title next to your name even though in reality you'll be using only a small fraction of what you actually know.

Take it from me, if you go the Entrepreneurship route, 99% of the things that you learn are things that you'll have already been exposed to. I graduated from a pretty good school and our business program is nationally ranked so it's not like I went to a middle-of-nowhere college.

In order to succeed in the entrepreneurial world, you have to be innovative and exceptionally good at what you do. You have to do things differently than the norm. If you do go into the entrepreneurship program, I would suggest that you take whatever you learn and add your own little renditions so that you position yourself differently than everyone else that is taking the class. You never know, your best friend that you get to know in that class could very well become your main competitor.

Entrepreneurs should only go to college if there are greater insintric value to attending school beyond a degree. Aside from that, fuck the degree.

Any science subject.

Startup is a research & development process. An idea is a hypothesis. You make a lot of assumptions: market potential, growth estimates, solution to customers' problems. How true are they? In actual execution, you falsify the wrong assumptions and manage your business according to right assumptions. You do experiments too, such as sending out a prototype to targeted customers to see how well it is received. Many has failed because they don't know or have not taken the scientific approach. It's good to learn a science subject in college.
