Degree in Entrepreneurship? I've not heard of this, and (off the bat) it seems like it might be one huge contradiction, or a way for a school to bundle a bunch

  they have one at my school. it's like a hodge podge of different things, with some basic stuff thrown in like "Writing a business plan". so much of the stuff is out of date and useless, it's not even funny.

  Like jasonlbaptiste explained, it really is a hodge-podge of offerings with a heavy emphasis on management and administration. At Bradley University (my school), they have not completely just "bundled a bunch of pre-existing courses together." Most of my classes have been tailored to fit the needs of start-ups (ie. instead of Cost Accounting, I took Advanced Entrepreneurial Accounting). All in all, I don't feel that the program is a total bust. Thanks to an endowment from an alumni, I have a free subscription to magazines such as Inc. and Small Business, an all-inclusive trip to an Entrepreneurship conference once a year, and access to a center for entrepreneurship that provides counseling and training from experienced professionals. If anything, my degree provides me resources similar to what is offered at YC (without the prestige, quality, and seed funding).
