Can Entrepreneurship Be Taught in Business School?

Many business schools today are creating or expanding entrepreneurship programs and courses for graduate students as applications to full-time MBA programs are dipping and the job market for MBAs is shaky.

My son took an accelerated entrepreneurship course in high school. It was pretty intense but lacked focus on core financial management & accounting principles, theories, and conventions. Nonetheless, the final culminated in a business plan that was executable. That said, I feel it could be taught at a much earlier stage and further developed in an institution of higher learning.
