A traditional undergrad business degree would typically have you take classes in a variety of areas including Accounting, Marketing, Finance, Management, and Operations Management. Each of those may then be a concentration within that degree. Entrepreneurship is one of many specialized areas one can also focus on. What would you see yourself wanting to do with a business degree? What of those areas might be a focus? If you wanted a top-notch entrepreneurial degree then I’d say be sure to look at Babson, for example. For schools without business, economics is a common related area and I’m guess plenty of econ majors end up in consulting, etc… Looks like Tufts does offer a minor in Finance. Not sure what campus recruiting is like for internships or jobs, but an elite liberal arts college is going to produce wicked smart grads that any employer will be looking to hire. I don’t believe one needs specialist skills like how how the accounting works for a particular transaction; generalist skills like the ability to synthesize information, communicate, collaborate, etc. are far more important.
