home campuses to implement a program development project. The
project should be based upon knowledge and skills acquired at
the Institute and designed to benefit the participant's institution. Implementation
of this project comprises the practicum portion of the Institute. Successful
completion of the residency and the project leads to certification
as a Developmental Education Specialist.
