I disagree that entrepreneurs are born not made, it's the same with leaders (but that's a different thread).

Entrepreneurs are such because they have a certain tolerance for risk, and that tolerance can be taught. However, I doubt very much that it can be taught in a classroom, because to be risk diverse would not lead you to a entrepreneurship program to learn how to take risk; you'd learn that in the real world. Many things are only learned by doing (skiing, shooting, skating), and if the program does teach you by doing that chances are you never will.
