How many people have degrees in social entrepreneurship? I bet, if you looked at the LinkedIn profiles of individuals in this field, you won't see many with this degree or concentration. 

I haven't been able to enroll in any of the courses yet. I already know I'm going to hate the format. I'm sick of writing long papers. Thankfully, science programs don't require a bunch of long papers, so I've been happy at UF.

Thanks for addressing the email earlier!

I just ran some quick numbers on LinkedIn, and I am sure I missed some options, but depending on how you want to count here is what I found using a boolean search:

• “MS social entrepreneurship" - 39
  
• "Masters of Science, social entrepreneurship" - 17
  
• "MA social entrepreneurship" - 121
  
• "Master of Arts, social entrepreneurship" - 27
  
• "MBA, social entrepreneurship" - 146
  
• "Master of Business Administration, social entrepreneurship” - 581
  
• "Masters of Business Administration, social entrepreneurship" - 1
  
• "MS Social Enterprise" - 6
  
• "Masters of Science Social Enterprise" - 2
  
• "MA Social Enterprise" - 33
  
• "Masters of Arts Social Enterprise" - 2
  
• "MA Social Innovation" - 45
  
• "Master of Arts Social Innovation" - 21
  
• "Masters of Science Social Innovation" - 2
  
• "MSC Innovation and Entrepreneurship" - 741
  

But, the question was how many in the field have a degree in social entrepreneurship. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people with criminal justice degrees who want to become FBI agents or some other kind of federal law enforcement officer, but a small percentage end up working in the field. On the other hand, there are many federal law enforcement officers who have non-CJ degrees. 
To put it differently, what percentage of people doing social entrepreneurship consulting have social entrepreneurship degrees?

Sometimes, people fall into the trap of being too literal. Some occupations require specific degrees, but most are rather flexible.
