Business undergrad = how to run a business? Or just work in one?

[pandem]

<p>I have little to no interest in just getting a business “job” in a company. The only way I’d be interested in business is via entrepreneurship and “running” a small-medium sized company. Essentially I’d prefer to work for myself, whether that’s through a company or just freelancing in whatever field.</p>

<p>Would a business major (as a double major) be worth my while? I’m planning on also majoring in an art-related field. </p>

<p>There are 16 courses I have to take for the business major at my school. It’s a generic degree (no specialization like marketing or finance.)</p>

<p>

Intro Macro Econ
Intro Micro Econ
Business Calculus
Stats. and Probability for Business Management
Financial Accounting
Managerial Accounting
Quantitative Methods
Managerial Ethics and Stakeholder Management
Business Economics
Organizational Behavior
Introduction to Finance
Introduction to Marketing
Human Resources Management
Introduction to Information Systems
Operations Management
Strategic Management

<p>Would I be better off just taking a few select courses instead of the full blown major?</p>

<p>Probably, and then major in something connected to the type of business you’d like to run. Take some finance (you’ll need to know how to raise money to start and/or grow your business), accounting and some marketing.</p>
