    I don't know. The MBA, as its taught in most major programs, is an on-going evolution of courses meant to satisfy the needs of large, structured corporations. Most of them can barely handle teaching applicable lessons for start-ups (beyond writing a business plan) let alone anything creative.

    In your case, the school probably tried adjusting a core curriculum to fit into the demands of the design community, which could introduce some questions about how effective it really is in preparing you to manage a firm.

    Also, remember not to discount the benefit of working alongside others in your pursuits.
