I have seen many business colleges and colleges that teach business in general.. but i have also seen a couple schools over the years that claim to be “entrepreneur” schools/colleges.. they actually have that word in the title of their school.
So what i’m wondering is: Is there a difference? Or is it the same as as a business school and they just wanted to be a little fancier with the title?

Both teach business skills, but the focus and credentials are different. Business colleges and programs offer degrees and are geared more towards working for a big business corporation.
Entrepreneurs are people who start their own businesses. Entrepreneurship programs are normally fairly short, like a few months, and focus on what a small businessperson needs to get up and running. Since you don’t need a credential or degree to run your own business, these are not degree programs – though you may be able to take an entrepreneurship class as part of a business degree program.
By the way, a small business is one that has gross receipts of less than $500,000 per year. Businesses that do $500,000 or more in business each year are considered big business.
