Student Team consulting services for Small Business

Students may also earn three or six credits by joining an SBI consulting team. The Small Business Institute® (SBI) at Plymouth State University gives MBA students a chance to serve local small businesses as members of consulting teams, earning elective course credits in the process. Working with a business faculty member, SBI teams visit their client companies, define the scope of their projects, execute the tasks they agree to complete for their clients, then prepare and present a formal report. These reports must be of professional quality. Over the past 36 years, Plymouth students' reports have won dozens of statewide, regional and national awards in competitions. Recent Small Business Institute® awards include: National First Place (2006, 2004, 2003, 2000); National Second Place (2007, 2005, 2003, 2002, 2001, 1999); National Third Place (2007, 2005); National Fourth Place (2004); Regional First Place (six awards between 1999 - 2004); and the Showcase Award for Best SBI Program (2003). The SBI experience allows qualifying students to ground their studies in a real world experience.

A six-credit SBI project is a requirement of the Small Business and Entrepreneurship certificate/concentration.
