A lot of University have courses or programs for Entrepreneurship. You need a good mix of Business classes, Marketing, Leadership, Sales, etc. There was some upper level classes I took that were all about writing Business Plans, and analyzing business models. You definitely need those.

You don't. Being an entrepreneur is one thing you can do with no degree at all. The last thing you can learn at college is how to be a risk taker.

Watch the movie "The Founder" on Netflix or wherever you find it. and you will learn there the secret for success as an entrepreneur. It is the story of the guy who made McDonalds what it is today.
