Seriously. I'm thinking a foundation in Biology and Chemistry, for now, and physics, of course. Anything else?

Business Administration. Really, most of being a Mad Scientist involves administrative issues, bookkeeping, regulations, etc. There's filing for grants, organizing your multi-national evil organization, building fortresses and outfitting labs. Very little of it revolves around test tubes or cool equipment with lotsa neat little lights or sparks flying.

I'll worry about that after I've made my first billions inventing something that saves the world. After I save the world, i can work on taking it over.

Cognitive science and robotics, of course! You can't be a real mad scientist without a sentient robot assistant!

If the people admire me and my works, who will complain once I take everything over? and by then, it'll be too late. Plus, i'll make tons of money.

Fashion design. The scanty outfits for your lovely assistants are a make or break deal.

Whatever you do, don't hire Miss Sakamoto to do any tidying around the lab.

I'd take some kind of English literature class and some sort of public speaking / acting class. That will be necessary in the final few moments before you put your evil plan into action so that you can give an suitable grandiose monologue about the merits of your evil plan and, whilst doing so, fail to notice the good guys sneaking into your lair to foil your plan at the last minute.
