I am about to graduate with a Bachelor in Business/Operations Management. I have been attending Devry for the entire 4 years of school, and I have had good relationships with the support staff and the instructors.
Yes, there are some instructors who are not the best people person, but they know their stuff. This is a tough school to make it through, and it takes dedication to the task, if you want to get there.
A commitment needs to be made when deciding on Devry, because they are a fast track school. They will work with you if needed, in emergencies, because I had to have open heart surgery, and they worked with me on finances, and classes I needed to finish.
I would recommend this school to people who are serious about their education. If partying is part of your view of school, DeVry is not one you need to consider.

The quality of education has declined in the past year. I have 2 Master's degrees from here and my husband was working on his Bachelor's. Teachers have gotten worse and worse, even had one who never responded to multiple emails and postings on a thread. It is almost $2000 per 8 week semester. Definately NOT worth the money!

Dear Potential Devry Students, I believe this school to have a good vision with poor execution. This conclusion is solely the reason I feel Devry is not worth the price you pay for it.
The recruiters here are either of low integrity or un-informed. The promises the make are not delivered upon and the support picture they paint for the online courses are also of serious opportunity. The Math course is absolutely 0 support, you must figure it out. So if it is not your strong point and needed to reach your degree, I highly do not recommend this school. You have homework assignments with the only "interaction" requirement is to post "random thoughts" from the assignments into a class forum. There are no video courses, neither live nor recorded with exception to orientation.
The financial aid is unclear and, in my own experience, rushed through with important information omited. When I was signing up for classes the individuals I spoke with were polite and attentive to my inquiries, however that impression was later not the case. When I called to withdraw from the current classes, I was met with what I first thought to be a disgruntled employee. After a few more conversations to attempt to clear up bad information I received, I was told "unless you have the previous conversations recorded, we cannot help you". I knew that if I was to withdraw from classes, I would have to pay a penalty, that I was able to accept, but the quote from the first individual was completely off and by the time I found out what the "actual" cost was, I had no proof.
I would hate to conclude that Devry has integrity problems, but at minimum the "left hand does not know what the right hand is doing".
I do not recommend going to this school, they do not follow through with their promises and their financial information & advice is questionable.

I attended this college for 18 months and from the beginning I did not encounter any problems. The admissions, college and financial advisors were very helpful and made my stay at DeVry rewarding. I had an Environmental Science class and I wondered what this class had to do with my college career. Well, I got my answer when I took a statistics class. I was glad I took the Environmental Science class first. If not I would have been lost in the statistics class. The student support services gave me much support during my time with DeVry. I was invited to be a Student Support Advisor during my senior year and it was my pleasure giving other students advice. All of the professors were knowledgable and helpful. One thing I know about this school and I advised other students to never turn in an assignment late without an excuse such as a doctor's statement. All of my professors were very understanding. If a student missed an important deadline, the professors will not lower their grade; they only asked for verification.
There is a lot of reading,studying and projects to do. You have to stay focused and disciplined. If you plan to make excuses and not take your education seriously, then DO NOT ENROLL at DeVry because you will waste your money. I am working with career services and they are helping me with my resume. Although I am a mother, and full-time employee, I graduated Summa Cum Laude because I was focus and very disciplined I worked very hard in the last 18 months and I know it will pay off. I posted my resume online and I received several invitations to apply with different companies.
Thank You DeVry University!!!

Do not go here... I repeat, do not go here!
This is over priced BS, there is no quality education here, only a high price for nothing! You can get a better education at a lower cost by going to CSU Global, or a street vendor. I went here for a year and am now in $20k of student loan debt, on top of paying for tuition some sessions. They promise a reduced rate for veterans, no dice, big waste of money. Steer clear, I wish someone gave me that advice.
