That’s complicated. Yes and no. For my specific degree I did and then gave it up. For the college I was in, no.
The biggest lesson really is you really can’t learn how to run a business from a book or lecturers. Every MBA I’ve met has been a less than knowledgeable in the real work world. I’m sure there are good ones out of the gate but they’re few and far between. I learned FAR more by going through the motions, seasonality, putting into practice what others have taught me, and actually working on the ground floor. Schools greatly overcomplicate how to make money. The basic frameworks and treating people right are all you really need.
