DeVry University

I came back to DeVry after being away for 12 years. The representatives welcomed me back with open arms and walked with me carefully to make sure I was ready for the new semester. I'm back as a Senior and will finish in the summer, FINALLY receiving my Bachelor's degree. The classes are relevant to my career so while I take the classes, I can immediately apply those lessons to my job and I see the improvements. I recommend anyone who can to come to DeVry and receive that higher education he/she so... Read More richly deserves.

I was concerned about going back to school after many years since high school graduation. But all of the staff and professors are available to make this the best experience for my college education. I had been out of the workforce for nearly 10 years and was concerned with returning to work, but with my experience and education that DeVry has offered me, I will not only enjoy returning to work with my knowledge of my selected field, but I will have the knowledge to advance in my career choice. DeVry... Read More has helped my self confidence with the ability to know that I can do this. They are there to help, from enrollment, financial aid, technical issues , program selection and completion. This has been an exhilarating time. Not only giving me assistance with my education needs but they while staff makes it their goal to see me exceed. I'm so happy I chose DeVry!

The program itself was not bad, I learned a lot. I'm thankful for the degree but I was lied to about what it would day on the diploma. My specialty was biology, I was told it would reflect that, but instead said "general technical specialty." After I completed my online program, I went to the New Brunswick campus to speak with an advisor in career services. The woman I saw was amazingly unfriendly, downright nasty at times and could not care less about seeing me because I wasn't 100% on what career... Read More I wanted (the whole reason I went to talk to them). I arrived 5 minutes late, waited another 20, then when she was finally ready for me the first thing she did was yell at me for being late. She also basically yelled at me like a child for not bringing a resume, which I told her on the phone to make the appointment I wasn't certain how to make and didn't have one, and she told me she'd help me at the meeting. I wasted over an hour drive to see them for nothing.

Do not go to this school. They are scam artist. They are holding my transcript because I owe them money for a class that THEY withdrew me from without my knowledge. They also threatened to ruin my credit because of this. I will be able to get my transcript next year once this bill is paid. I told them that they are stopping my education but they told me to pay more each month so I can get my transcript quicker. I am one of the people now that will never finish college because of them; Cant afford... Read More too. Thanks Devry.

DeVry has been a great help. I was looking for a school with the family type of environment, and that's what DeVry U is. There for you when you need them, and tough love when you need it as well. I can truly say they have equipped, and prepared me to take the things I've learn, and I will be nothing but successful in the industry that my degree is in. I have learned soft skills that I feel other universities or colleges would've taken the time to teach you. I'm truly indebted to DeVry University.... Read More

I am at present going to DeVry University on the web. In case you're a non-conventional understudy who needs to come back to class, however you can't make sense of how to make it around a full time showing and a full time life, I firmly urge you to go to DeVry Online. It's extraordinarily non-customary cordial. There are a tremendous scope of courses in pretty much every subject. I've taken everything from post-1945 History to Professional Writing and the sky is the limit from there. These classes... Read More are equipped to work with non-traditional so we can get the instruction we need the life that we need. I additionally energize any individual who is self propelled and/or necessities to work while going to class to look at DeVry. You'll see it to be exceptionally adaptable with work routines and a family life. Teachers obviously run the array as they do in any establishment, yet the greater part of the Professors I have been sufficiently blessed to have were staggering. Exceptionally spurred and put resources into their understudy's prosperity. Being online was no prevention to contact with a Professor in the event that I required help. Both Academic Advising and Student Finance divisions have been outstanding when I have called. I call no less than each 8-12 weeks to set up classes ahead of time, and they generally work with me to guarantee that I get what I need and adjust it appropriately with money related guide so I don't get an excessive amount of or too little. I truly put stock in DeVry University as a foundation that is turning into a solid pioneer in instruction for all individuals. Make certain to add it to your rundown of universities to go to!

I attended DeVry 2001-2002, the year they became accredited as a university (Institute of Technology to University). They offered a one year B.S degree in IT for students who already had obtained a bachelors degree of any major. I graduated and earned a B.S in Information Technology, but the program included no professional certifications and the courses did not train for what employers were looking for. This was their biggest selling point on this program. While I was still in the program, the career... Read More services team would tell us they would ALWAYS be there to provide their services after graduation, however immediately upon graduation, they would not respond to phone calls, emails or would just be unwilling to provide the service they claimed they would provide. I paid $20K to them for a useless diploma. They canceled this degree program shorty after I graduated also.

I attended DeVry from March 2013 and just finished out my degree program in February. I wanted to share my experiences with those who are looking into attending DeVry. I have noticed that there are several controversial reviews out there regarding DeVry. Some state that the college is overpriced, the professors do not help, and if employers see that you attended DeVry they immediately throw your resume into the trash. I want to clarify some of these things. 1. Tuition - Yes, DeVry is VERY expensive... Read More if you are having to pay out of pocket or even get student loans. Each 4 credit class costs about $3500. If you cannot afford it or if you are not a veteran using your GI Bill, then find a community college that is within your price range. I used my GI Bill to pay for DeVry which they covered all 3 years of it. 2. Professors - I attended two different campuses due to a move. One in Federal Way, WA and finished out here in the Irving, TX campus. The professors you get really depends on the location. Most of the professors I encountered were very helpful and cared alot about their students. Some even went beyond the typical class outline to make sure we had a solid understanding of the material. I did encounter a couple of professors that were absolutely terrible and would not recommend them to anyone. BUT keep in mind, this can happen in ANY college you go to. Not ALL of the professors are terrible. It's luck of the draw. If you are not happy with them, then take it to the dean. It's as simple as that. 3. Employers - The statement that employers see that you have attended or graduated from DeVry will immediately trash your resume is not entirely true. Majority of employers care more about the fact that you completed a degree to prove you are a motivated individual. While it may be true that there are SOME employers that care about where you attend, it is a case by case basis. I have landed two jobs while attending DeVry with no problem. They could care less about the name of the university that I am attending or got my degree from. They cared more about what I have learned and if I have the drive to continue learning in my career field. DeVry IS a fast paced college. The sole purpose is to get your education so you can land a job quickly. They offer free tutoring, free software, free eBooks ($10 if you want a printed paperback copy). If you are used to a fast pace, then you will have no issue with DeVry. Their programs are designed to help you get a job and also provide hands on labs if that's what you choose. Classes are about 8 weeks each session so there is a lot to learn in little time. If you can handle it, go for it. If not, then DeVry isn't for you. All of these reviews floating around are all self opinions and majority are those who need to vent because of a bad experience. Don't let bad reviews turn you down completely. As with anything, take it with a grain of salt and remember not everyone has the same experience with DeVry.

I finish my Associates this session and start my Multi Media Web Development Bachelors degree right after. The coaches and financial services are top notch they know how to keep you going so you can succeed in your studies and degree. I had two hospital stays for foot surgeries. My Coaches and Professors modified my schedule so I could get caught up. Failure is not an option. In the beginning I was out of school for a long while, the resources that DeVry uses online got me up to speed in the first... Read More session. Coming from a school environment of little to no computers this online learning is the way to go. Your libraries are as close as your PC and you do not have to come out of your PJ's if you don't want to. I put a lot of hours in and had a few all nighters while researching and learning Web code but in the end the projects were successful and the code techniques stuck to be used on other projects. It's a great time to be in to learn and find your passion in life and with the knowledge you gain be able to do something great with it. All of my Professors are in the Web industry and know how to teach lessons learned about work flow processes. You get real world techniques and experience from the learning process. Hope you consider Derry we have the best teachers. You can also take classes on campus which gives a more personable approach and also uses a blend of online learning and labs.

My Initial 4 weeks were rough, but the Dean along with her staff were very supportive when life throws a curve ball at you. Through out the entire 8 weeks, which is fast paced, to succeed you need a daily routine. Follow the guidelines in detail, ask questions if necessary, developing your own routine because only you know you. The professors at DeVry will work with you and always remember that communication goes both ways. The professors teaching Technical writing and Business and Technology exceeded... Read More my expectations, then encourage learning by thinking out of the box and stir up the discussion boards in order to get the creative juices going which really helps helps you to adapt, learn from others experience then removing you from you comfort zone. To keep the pace, my Academic Advisor was always available to assist me in dealing with administrative that potential almost derailed from continuing my education at DeVry Long Beach. They are the jacks of all trades and masters of none, they are foot soldiers that will fill in the necessary gaps so that you can focus on school and if they do not have the answer they will get back to you as time permits. I have gone through many schools both onsite or online, DeVry is the place is where I will earn my degree after 20 years of serving my country. In the end my hard work will pay and with the support of the DeVry staff it is possible. In the end it is all up to you and if you want it so bad then go for it and reach for the stars. I switched from Computer Science Information to a higher level into BS in Electrical and Engineering Tech., this degree is math intensive, but who said anything is easy. Einstein was initially the smartest individual during his time, but what ever he did he became famous. Make sure you are committed and have the time to follow through your education. DeVry will be there to support, but you have to take the necessary steps to take the leap and succeed. Its on you.... David B. Current DeVry Student-Long Beach

The program was extremely helpful and it brought real world issues into the classroom to allow us to work as a team for recommendable solutions. Course materials were appropriate for each session exceeded my expectations and the professors were knowledgeable about the lessons and reachable in time of need. The student resources were beneficial to me when I needed a more hands-on experience, including tutoring onsite. No question was ever considered to be "dumb" the students even chimed in to help...
