Where to go to college for an E-Business & Entrepreneurship Major

When filling out some information for the SAT today, it asked me my major, which of course the one I wanted was not an option, and it got me thinking. I will be going to college in two years and would like to major in something that many smaller colleges offer as a major but I'm having a hard time finding larger colleges that offer it. I'd like to major in something like E-Business & Entrepreneurship Major. I'd much rather make business decisions then sit at a computer all day and code. Plus I see the industury outsourcing the coding work etc.. and I don't want to be a software engineer without a job when I could be putting my business mind to work. I'd like to stay in state (Florida) to take advantage of some full scholarships offered to me. What would you guys do? My goal is to set up some business I have fun running that will allow me to take a vacaction when I want and allow me to wake up when I want etc... The University of Florida has a great business program, I though about getting a major in Business Entrepreneurship and then a minor in Computer Science. Do you guys thinks more colleges will be picking up these E-Business type majors in the upcoming years? What colleges across the nation are the leaders in this type of stuff?

Any fatherly/motherly advice is appericated, as my mom is still trying to figure out why google would send her a check because of me ie... there not to computer savvy.

By the way, I have a fairly high gpa (4.5 or so) with many extracircullar type stuff to supplement it, so I should be able to get into some fairly nice schools.

 

The degree(s) are mostly a "Union Card" which work best in traditional fields that people who are impressed by degrees understand. IMHO the educational system is not doing well keeping up with the pace of technological change so I would not expect to find any state of the art educational programs. Use the university to get a traditional degreee in a traditional field and do everything else on your own time.

I was once told that a manager/owner needs to know enough programming to know when his programmer is lying to him. So some technical education has value even if you don't plan to do a lot of coding yourself.

The fact is, the internet business model is so new that no one really knows what works and what doesn't. Everyone struggles to find things that work for them. That's what make sites like DigitalPoint so interesting.

There is a quote attributed to Mark Twain that goes "Don't confuse going to school with getting an education." Go to school and gain the benefits school offers, but use the rest of your time to get a real education.

 

Thanks for the reply, mhdoc.

Now not everyone post at once!

 

California State University Fullerton has an Entrepreneurship program both on the bachelor and master level. Quite a distance from Florida though...
