My sister wants to open a retail boutique after she finishes college. She wants me to help her with it. Should I take a few courses in business/accounting, or should I get a few books on business and teach myself?

Imo, the most important college business course is Business Law. Law tells you when the conditions for doing something accounting-wise are met. It also tells you what the terms in much of trade mean and how they are used. The usual B school sequence is to take Law at the same time as Intro Accounting. both are a full year long. given your reasons I'd put off Marketing until after that. GL

Business 101 financial accounting marketing 101 microeconomics probably the more important ones also maybe a human/consumer/employee behavior class.

Take accounting. At the very least you will know how to keep your books, will understand them, and not have to pay someone else to do them. I am partial though as I am a bookkeeper.
