Default martial arts and college

I want to run my own school eventually, but I'm not sure what classes I should be taking for the remainder of high school and college. I know business is one, and I'm taking a business/computer class next year along with a fitness class. I want to start planning and I was wondering if any of you could help. Also, is there a college in the Michigan area (or any area) that has a good business curriculum? Thanks for you advice...

here are classes I would recommend,

Psychology
Child Psychology

Strategic marketing

When a similar question was posted, I thought that the only certification you needed was a business degree so one can properly handle the financial/marketing side of their dojo. In order to really be a good teacher, you also must be able to develop your students physically and mentally. So I would suggest that you do work towards a business degree, and also major (or minor) in some sort physical therapy/physical education/sports medicine program. In addition to that, you will need to take a few courses in psychology.

Good Luck.
