If you are not into law, I would suggest (as has been stated above) you work towards an ordinary business degree, finishing up with an MBA. A proper business degree will allow you to work in any industry, including music.
There are some courses on music management, but they are VERY Mickey Mouse and to be avoided at all costs.

I agree with The Byre. Mainly because i got to college to do a music course, and am friendly with some of the Business students. We all agree it's a big waste of time.
I would look into a Business degree, but on the side try and get involved with as many musical projects as you can. Try managing a band, promote your own gig nights, apply for work experience at Music Management firms, speak to other music managers and ask how they got into it ect. Just a bit of advice from my perspective.
