Last Update: Tuesday February 9, 2010

You can follow-up one of the shows in three ways:

1.	Go to school. Virtually every business school in the USA uses case studies from Small Business School television legacy. Go to a list of over 40 of the most popular business textbooks where these case studies can be found. Back when the show first came on the air, many schools and universities had a special relation with the PBS Adult Learning Service. At that time the show was called here was Small Business Today. PBS transmitted that programming to more than 3000 colleges and universities throughout the USA. All of the schools were invited "to take the feed," and over 1000 did. Our goal was to get all of the schools even more involved. Perhaps the students and professors could help by recommending great businesses in their communities. Perhaps some could help business owners answer the same questions Hattie asked each of the businesses in each of the episodes of the show. These owners would be creating their own transcripts and study guides. So, with this partial listing of that schools that used the case study materials in the classroom, this page emerged. Another hope and dream was that some of the business owners who watched the show would find a school nearby and take a continuing education class. A note to professors: While in school, we all learned the stories of the early pioneers who risked everything to break new ground. Small Business Today (and her successors) is all about the new American heroes who are the new risk takers, innovators, and job creators. No matter what their vocational direction, students have been inspired and will learn.

2.	Become a member of the community, but start a local study group. Educators get discounts. Although the website was designed for business owners, anyone can join and hundreds of schools, business associations, Chambers of Commerce, and Small Business Development Centers have.	E-mail. Specify "Questions." Review the business books.

3.	Make a few telephone calls. Many of our viewers are interested in continuing education. If you find that your local junior college, college, or university is not listed below, call the school, talk with a professor in the business department, and request a special course based on our case studies. Then, you could help your school by getting other organizations involved to help you organize that study group. Include your local Chamber of Commerce (i.e. Calhoun County's Chamber under Alabama), your local station (i.e., Contra Costa, California), a SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives) chapter, and/or the closest US Small Business Administration (US SBA) – Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Program (i.e., see West Virginia). Ask your local station to put a tag at the end of each Small Business School show to promote your study group. There is never any harm in asking and they just might help you!

To facilitate these discussions with the following schools, we will provide the e-mail hyperlinks whenever we can so you can get more specific information from the school and your public television station. This is a partial listing of schools that have one of the series from the television show. If you are a school, chamber or SBDC and you have any set of the one of the series and are not listed, please e-mail us to be included. *Click on the State or scroll down the page.* AL \| AR \| AZ \| CA \| FL \| GA \| ID \| IL \| IN \| IN \| IO \| KS \| KY \| MD \| MI \| MN \| MO \| NJ \| NM \| NY \| NC \| ND \| OH \| OK \| OR \| PA \| SC TN \| TX \| UT \| WA \| WV \| WI \| Alabama Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce, Anniston Troy State University, Troy University of North Alabama, Florence Arizona City of Phoenix Education Channel 20 Arkansas University of Arkansas, Little Rock University of Arkansas, Fort Smith Division of Continuing Business and Professional Institute, Fort Smith Send a note to Pat Eller, or call: 479-788-7799 California UCLA, Los Angeles entrepreneurial.studies.center@anderson.ucla.edu Contra Costa Television, Martinez Gavilan College SBDC, Gilroy sbdc@gilroy.com Modesto Junior College, Modesto Riverside Community College, Riverside Florida University of Central Florida, Orlando Valencia Community College, Orlando Georgia Floyd College Idaho Idaho State University, Pocatello Illinois Aurora University, Aurora McHenry County College, Crystal Lake Millikin University, Decatur Oakton Community College, Des Plaines Rock Valley College, Rockford Indiana Anderson University, Anderson Indiana Board of Higher Education, Indianapolis Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute Iowa North Iowa Area Community College, Mason City Kansas Emporia State University, Emporia Seward County Community College, Liberal University of Kansas, Lawrence Kentucky Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green Maryland Essex Community College, Baltimore Montgomery College, Rockville University of Maryland (University College), College Park Michigan Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Kalamazoo Lansing Community College, Lansing Monroe County Community College, Monroe North Central Michigan College, Petoskey Southwestern Michigan College, Dowagiac St. Clair County Community College, Port Huron Minnesota University of St. Thomas, St. Paul Missouri St. Louis Community College, St. Louis New Jersey Cumberland County College, Vineland Mercer County Community College, Trenton New Mexico New Mexico State University, Carlsbad New York Crosswalks Television Network, Bronx Dutchess Community College, Poughkeepsie Herkimer County Community College, Herkimer Nazareth College of Rochester, Rochester Orange County Community College, Middletown Pace University, Pleasantville Sullivan County Community College, Loch Sheldrake Syracuse University, Syracuse Ulster County Community College, Stone Ridge North Carolina Appalachian State University, Boone Caldwell Community College, Hudson Charlotte Area Health Education Center, Charlotte Coastal Carolina Community College, Jacksonville East Carolina University, Greenville Edgecombe Community College, Tarboro Fayetteville Technical Community College, Fayetteville Gaston College, Dallas (NC) Randolph Community College, Asheboro Southeastern Community College, Whiteville North Dakota University of North Dakota, Grand Forks Ohio Ashland University, Ashland Columbus State Community College, Columbus Sinclair Community College, Dayton Oklahoma Cameron University, Lawton Oregon Blue Mountain Community College, Pendleton Pennsylvania Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg Robert Morris College, Coraopolis Westminster College, New Wilmington South Carolina Greenville Technical College, Greenville Presbyterian College, Clinton Tennessee East Tennessee State University, Johnson City Northeast State Technical Community College, Blountville Texas Angelo State University, San Angelo College of the Mainland, Texas City Concordia Lutheran College, Austin Texas A&M University University of Texas, Brownsville Utah Utah Valley State College, Orem Virginia Clinch Valley College at Abingdon, Wise University of Abingdon, Abingdon Washington Columbia Basin Community College, Kennewick West Virginia West Virginia Small Business Development Center 950 Kanawha Boulevard,Charleston, West Virginia 25301 Tel: T: 304.558.2960 Fax: (304)558-0127 West Virginia State College PO Box 1000.
