  >> This was, essentially, my point. Business Administration will always be relevant, but Business Administration for Startups is a little too focused. What happens when the startup fad is over? I got my MBA 21 years ago. Practically speaking, nobody's going to ask you much about your MBA after about 5 years of subsequent work experience. After 20 years, it doesn't matter whether you've done a generalist program or one focused on startups, assuming you can even remember all of the stuff you learned 20 years ago. Let me put it this way, the technology course I took in my MBA -- it was a waste of time intro course that talked about paper tapes, Winchester drives, etc. Most of my peers didn't even know what e-mail was. No matter what, the typical MBA program requires you to take a lot of common courses, so even if you're a Business Administration for Startups graduate, you're not at a significant disadvantage over the next MBA.
