First Term Free at Walden!

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.

No clue on how many, I mean obviously that would be impossible to count. I agree that I am sure many more are doing social entrepreneurship without a degree than with one so I do see your point. At the same time I feel like doing the double concentration can't really hurt, especially since that's probably one of the best rates I am going to get for formal education on the subject. If for some reason anything changes that would cause it to be cheaper to just skip the MBA in Healthcare Management and opt for the MBA in Social Entrepreneurship by itself I would still consider doing that, but at this point I just want to do the healthcare management so I don't have to pay for the capstone and then get the 2nd concentration with the alumni discount. I am always playing it by ear though, have to roll with the punches... so this could change in the future. Or, maybe some business ideas I have will work out and I'll have enough experience on my own to not really need the second concentration by the time I get to that point.

By the way, I did talk to my Academic Coach who said the shortest time they have seen someone complete this degree in is 4 months, and that was working on it about 50hrs per week.

Also, just in comparison, I suspect this program is a lot more rigorous than WGU. Based on a small sample survey WGU MBA students are spending on average 280 - 420 hours of work on the MBA program and writing 15-20 papers with a lot of proctored quizzes. In comparison, the MBA Healthcare Management at Walden requires 40 papers and 3-4 quizzes (non-proctored), so if it took a student 4 months to get through at 50hrs per week that is about 800 hours. However, that might still be worth it to some of us with the free term, and the advisor didn't really say how good of a student the person was so I am not sure if it's even really fair to compare.

On a less serious note, every time one of the staff or videos says "SME" (subject matter expert) I can't help but think of Mr. Smee from Peter Pan!
