Business and Marketing?

So I've decided that I am going to go back to school and try for a degree in business and a degree in marketing.

Anyone done either or both of those? What is a good business degree? MBA's seem to be made fun of, and seem pretty run of the mill. Is there anything better to shoot for than that?

What about Marketing? Is that even a course?

Anyone know any good schools as well?

I'll do my own research of course, just wondering if anyone had any insight?

*edit*

This would be to run my own company, I want to learn the theory, in the end I don't care what it does for me on a resume because I plan to never need another resume...

I'm actually a marketing and management double major. The two majors are very similar other then a few core classes. In my junior year and I like it a lot.

Maybe I need to do something more along the lines of Entrepreneurship.

Not sure what that would even be in terms of a bachelors or masters program...

I'm pretty sure there are enterpernual classes that you can take where they teach you how to write business plans and what not. Although you might want a degree to hold onto idk what you're business consists of but you will need to make budgets etc...

I actually have 3 companies I want to start or I am in the process of starting...

I figured this can be a kind of learn as I go with a couple of them, but I just came from a business where they did that and they learned everything the WRONG way.

I figure having learned what NOT to do that could help in the process of learning as I go.

Getting some formal education though can never hurt (unless they teach you the wrong thing too... )

Yeah, go back to school- I mean you have nothing to lose & if you aspire to so many things including starting your own companies then the more knowledge you have the better!

Do you already have a BA or MA?

I see.. yeah- I suggest going back to school- people just take you more seriously with a BA or MA under your belt you know :S its just the way things work- plus you don't loose anything & gain knowledge

Hell, if you have the will- you can start as many companies as you want

Knowledge is power.

according to some recent online articles i've read, international business is a recession proof degree/career path. so i'd go for that. get a minor in a foreign language.
