Hi, Alma!
Many universities are now incorporating entrepreneurship into business administration curriculum. When searching for a degree at a university, make sure that the courses offer elements of business that go beyond accounting, marketing, compliance, and administration. All of these are essential, but you will also need to learn about securing business capital and writing business plans. Great programs in business offer entrepreneurship coursework (even final projects) that teach you these skills.
