As of recently there has been an increase in entrepreneurship studies being taught on college campuses, these colleges have been promoting entrepreneurships in education.  This may be in part because it is becoming a much more complex area to delve into.
Do to increased costs in higher education it is been speculated whether or not entrepreneurship can be effectively taught in the classroom for the price it costs.  Also, money aside, some people think that entrepreneurship cannot be taught.  "An entrepreneur is a kind of genius born, not made."  It is about having guts, which is something that cannot be taught.  All things considered, the ability to have passion about your business and that industry is what it really what it is all about.
The effectiveness of education is something that is being studied more and more.  Research shows that five years after graduation for entrepreneur majors and MBAs, those who concentrated in education, earn an average of $72,000 which is 27% higher than for business majors and students with standard MBAs.  Education can also help guide those with the right spirit.  Studies show that classes can speed up the learning curve for those with the right stuff.  Education can help with ethical decisions and valuable lessons that reduce business failure(s).  Basically, there is more to stating a business than just understanding finance, accounting, and marketing.
