Abstract	Colleges are facing an increasing population of students who begin their college experience in developmental education classes in reading, math, and/or English. Many of these students are unsuccessful in attaining a degree, sometimes because they are deterred by their lack of preparation and the delay of two or more semesters before they begin their college-credit courses. One community college in Florida has implemented an intervention in its developmental education program funded through a U.S. Federal Title III-A grant, achieving increases in course completion rates and student retention with an enhanced tutoring program. The authors present the cost/benefit of the tutoring intervention, demonstrating a surprisingly large return on the investment both to the college and society. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided).
