University of Michigan already has a course that does something similar. Also, they introduced a 'Master in Entrepreneurship' focusing on all the aspects of Entrepreneurship. They are getting into it in a big way. I bet all the big universities already have courses, clubs or incubators serving similar purpose.

I received a Master's in Entrepreneurship at Lund University in Sweden. I am not sure how I feel about it honestly. The big advantage was being in a room full of people who wanted to do stuff. The negative side was the course was trying so hard to balance the study of entrepreneurship versus actually doing something. It leaned very heavily towards the study in my opinion and the doing was exceptionally undervalued. What exactly one would expect from a master's in entrepreneurship, I am not sure, but I honestly expected to get my hands a lot dirtier.

I don't know what other programs are like across the world, but I think a focus on actually doing stuff rather than simply studying it would be nice. Our thesis equivalent was a business plan, which is a grand set of ideas graded by how good it sounds and well reasoned it is. There was little value in actually going out and creating and testing.

Agreed. The key here is to make science out of art, just the way everything 'education' aspires to do. I do agree with you that getting hands dirty is probably the best way of learning but it is up to people to figure out how much effort they want to put into it. The course is just to mold their thinking to be a successful entrepreneur.
