There are MANY entrepreneurs who have never set foot anywhere near Stanford, Berkley, or Harvard. Communications as subject is going through a transition. Marketing, social media, and digital advertising are now part of communications programs at many colleges. Plenty of people have taken courses and hold degrees in subjects which are useless. I mean I took a class on stained glass making and received college credit for it! I also took a PE course in walking. I literally spent a semester taking a 20 minute walk twice a week and received college credit for it. I have taken HR courses and have no deserve to work in HR but I learned something from it.

A course here and there are fine. I took history of infectious diseases for my BLS. But this is half of your degree. If you look at the curriculum. Half of your degree is your concentration. Your concentration should be something that is going to help you advance your career if it's going to be half of the course work you take. Also you don't need a degree to start a Business. I owned a plumbing company that brought in millions of dollars a year without a degree. Typically Entrepreneurship degrees or concentrations are for people who want to get into or interact with VC companies and that's best done at a top 20 college.
