DeVry University

Worst university ever. Do not even think about applying. They will screw you, especially if you are an international student. And if you try to contact them after all they will do is ignore your calls and emails. Very unresponsive and careless school and staff. Especially the San Diego campus - executive advisors S. and D. along with other advisors are rude and unprofessional. The international evaluations department is careless and inefficient. In the jist of it all, they do not have any care or... Read More regard for their students and all they care about is money. Again from a former Graduate student - DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS UNIVERSITY.

The Good: If you are an adult looking to complete a degree in hopes that it will help you get a little further in your career then I think DeVry is a good fit. If you are willing to do independent research when course curriculum or instructors fail you, then you should be fine. What DeVry Isn't: DeVry, although accredited, is a college that caters to the online student who doesn't have the time or capability to attend on campus full time and do not want the lengthy delay of going part time to a university... Read More while juggling work and family. DeVry is not a college that is going to provide you with a high level of learning. The curriculum is typically good, however material, labs, and assignments created by the academic staff are sub-par. One thing I noticed early on at DeVry was a massive amount of typos in core curriculum. These are the lectures, labs, and assignments provided to you. There are also a lot of holes in instruction. You might have an assignment or lab and not be able to complete it easily because you are missing crucial instruction or information. The good news, however, is that you can still get a passing grade if you turn in something coherent. I have managed to keep a 4.0 at DeVry and I am now in my Junior year. If you have a brain, you know how to research, and you can read, you should do fine. In summary, while DeVry is by no means the "cream of the crop" in regards to higher learning institutions, it is an effective and expedient way to obtain a Bachelors or Associates degree.

So I spent 4 years in this program and took out thousands upon thousands of dollars in loans...I am 16 credit hours away from completion and can not register for my final classes because it seems that they overcharge for the education that you receive and I ran out of financial aid. So as I interview with companies in the field that I have been studying I also get a lot of laughs when I say I am going to Devry because it is a joke of a school in the minds of the employers....The sadist part of it... Read More all is that my fiance is taking the same degree program as I am and the same thing is about to happen to her........ DO NOT GO TO DEVRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Graduated from DeVry in 2006 with an Bachelor of Science Degree in CET and landed an job right away as an Circuit Board Technician. Since graduating from DeVry I have chosen to take the traditional education route by earning an associate’s degree in Mathematics as well as a second associate’s degree in Engineering Science at the local community college and will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering this may 2016. For me DeVry was on pretty good choice, but I was... Read More unable to get an upper level professional position with just having a DeVry degree. I would recommend the traditional schooling route and save you a lot of money. A DeVry degree will get your foot in the door for most companies, but it certainly should not be considered as the final step to your education, but this was my personal experience and it will be different for everybody.... at the end of the day DeVry was an good starting point for my career.

DeVry teaches you the best tool you need for your goals. The professors are committed in helping you to the last effort of making sure you understand the concept of the daily topics and can apply it correctly. I have been out for 3 years for financial reason, now DeVry gave second chance to return by offering me scholarships and school grants that helped me retain my confidence to complete my degree. I am very close to receive my first degree in my life. I hope it lands me on my dream job. Thank... Read More you all.

I am a veteran and used my G.I. Bill benefits to attend the University. I took a class back in May, I completed the class and took the final exam but since then I have been receiving bills from the Veterans Administration stating that I dropped out of the class and was withdrawn from the course. I sent in a request to Devry to have the withdrawal changed to a letter grade and was told that they couldn't' do anything for me. Now I owe Devry University and the Veterans Administration money for a class... Read More that I attended and completed. I have sent numerous emails and talked to numerous people about the matter trying to get it fixed and nobody cared enough to understand that I was wrongfully withdrawn from a class and just wanted to have it changed to a grade. I receive a small check every month for disability from the Veterans Administration and they are going to start withholding that money until they are paid back in full for the class that they paid me to take so I contacted Devry and told them that I did not withdraw from the class, I completed the class and took the final exam and needed the withdrawal changed to a grade so that I can show the veterans administration that I didn't drop out or withdraw and keep from withholding my disability money and forcing me to pay back money for a class that I should have never been withdrawn from. If your a veteran reading this do not use your G.I. Bill benefits to attend Devry University. Go to any other institution but Devry.

This is the worse school you can ever go to. If you want to learn something this is not the place for you. The professors are a joke. If you need help with an online course and ask question they do everything but answer the question. Their iLabs are a joke along with tech support. They have so many outside supports for different items that no one know what the other is doing. If this is a tech school why can't they troubleshoot their own problems. When I complained it went all the way to the dean... Read More and his answer was to address my issue with the professor, whom by the way I was complaining about. The reason for the complaint was the professor was not helping me or answering my questions. If I could do it all over again I would never joined this school, it is a wonder why they are close down some of their campuses which they failed to mention when I signed up that the campus I was going to would be closing down 6 months later.

This school is a scam! they are a profit only school. They assured that would be able to graduate with plenty of funding , however that was a lie.. they ripped my financial funding a new one. I now need 38k to graduate from a decent afforldable college. I have no more federal funding and they refuse to offer they only scholarship program they have, even though I have a 3.6 gpa . They send you links to BS scholarship websites. they will not assist with money. Do not waste your time for PROFIT only... Read More schools... do your research people.. I became that statistic.

This review goes out to all of my fellow Veterans and or Active Duty. Do not attend Devry university or their affiliates. They will take advantage of you and steal your hard earned benefits. I attended Devry as well as Keller Graduate School of Management where I obtained my Bachelor's and MBA. However it was not until my MBA when I discovered how much of a scam they really are. First I had them charge me for a class that I took under their recommendation and 5 months later I get a Bill from the... Read More VA stating I owed tuition as well as BAH for the class since it was considered transfer credits. It turns out I did not have to take the class because of one of the classes from my Bachelors Degree counted for it. However they went ahead and charged me for it and VA. If I had not fought it I would had paid back the school more than they made on the class plus fees. It took me almost 3 months to get this sorted out and after the fact instead of paying it back out of their pocket they simply found a GRANT (tax money) to pay the money owed. Sounds like Fraud to me. Next I was charged for a class from Devry that I had to withdraw from even though they got paid by VA for the class. Again they investigated and found that they were to fault so what did they do. Grant money was used to clear my account of all charges. The final straw came in November of 2014 when I got notice that my GI Bill benefits were not being certified by Devry anymore because I had gotten a D+ in one class which is still passing according to Devry and I can graduate with it but apparently that grade caused me to drop below a 3.0 which CUT my entire GI Bill benefits including BAH, Tuition and book payments. This would continue until July 2015 when they said I brought my GPA up enough to prove I was worthy. However the issue I see is why did I get punished for something that is not failing or wrong. I did not fail the class and it was good enough to graduate with so why punish be by stopping my benefits and then making me take out Federal Loans which I can never make enough to pay back. They manipulate the system so that they do not have to work so hard for their money. It is much simpler to punish veterans by not completing some rule so they can use Federal Aid which the VA will not back you up on since that means they do not have to pay out more money. They leave their rules open for the schools to manipulate so they can save money. They punished me for almost $15,000 of my own benefit money not to mention the debt they have put me in which the interest alone is going to kill me and my credit. They are good at wasting federal taxpayers money since almost all Honorable Discharged Veterans have a GI Bill and some rely on this money to survive. However they do not care about Veterans nor anybody else for that matter. Punishing somebody by taking their hard earned benefits away is stealing, unethical and morally wrong. I filed complaints with the VA GI Bill compliance Team, Devry and Keller Finance Officials as well as the Dean of Students. None of them see the moral issue they are violating. They discriminate based on Financial aid and take advantage of people that do not monitor their own accounts. They steal from hard working Americans and justify it by a so called Higher Education Learning Accreditation which makes them maintain a 3.0 or else you will lose your hard earned Veteran's Benefits and become so far in debt you will never get out.

Terrible education no one likes when I inform them I went o devry , it cost me 75000 still cant come lose to make enough to start paying back , lots of people online review will a ay same thing credits dont transfer huge dissapointment . No more money for any more student loans devry took it all so I cant get any other degrees. It will take over 400 a month for 15.5 years to pay back this student loan .. ridiculous STAY AWAY FROM DEVRY UNIVERSITY , THEY ARE TAKING HUGE MONEY FROM GOVT IN YOUR NAME... Read More AND .. GOVT HOLDS YOU ACCOUNTABLE TO PAY IT BACK!! This will wreck your life .. WHAT A SCAM. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

I began my journey with DeVry University in 2010. I am a student with special needs and the university acknowledged it and worked with me for closely to make sure that my academic needs were being met. Special accommodations were made as far as tutoring and extra time to finish my assignments etc. For the most part I didn't need the services, but it was comforting knowing that I had the same opportunities to complete my course work and graduate irregardless of my challenges. I recently graduated(June... Read More 28th, 2015) with my bachelors in Technical Business and will be pursing a masters in Business Administration with Keller Graduate School. I owe a lot to all who helped me from my academic adviser to the ladies sitting at the front desk in financial aid.
