DeVry is very expensive. I have heard negative things from friends but still wanted to consider it since they have online and have on campus programs in the local area. However, they are more expensive than Brandman and the other colleges that I've looked into.
The classes are good, with good professors who know their stuff, but the cost is higher than other online schools because they're for-profit. Plus, I don't think it's a very respectable school in the eyes of employers; it sounds like a hokey online school. I don't think it's gained the respect that other online universities like Brandman and National have earned.
Horrible! After the initial interview to talk about the program and the cost I was less than impressed. SUPER EXPENSIVE! Save some money and get a better education and go SOMEWHERE ELSE!
I am a very self educated person by nature. I love to learn by myself all the time. So, I love the fact I am responsible for myself and I can work around my personal schedule. So, the online environment has helped me tremendously. I have taken things I have learned from my employment to DeVry and Kellar and I have brought a lot of what I learned from school back to my job! All of my classes has expanded my understanding and widened my viewpoint and has made me more effective at my positions. I have experience and I have a degree and that is the best!! The only thing I did not like really was the cost. You never really know what you will get a with a professor. Some were more involved than others and some added more tot he class and some seemed hands off but when I went to Baylor University I had the same thing. I just learned to change my work out put based on the teacher and that skill is VALUABLE in the real world!

This degree provided me with a solid background in general education. Math, English, Life Science etc.. were all covered as would be expected at almost any university.
The business portion of the education was substantial in class requirements however it was lacking in substance. It is my opinion and has been my experience that the business courses taught at DeVry and most other places of education are geared toward the old manufacturing economy and are hardly applicable to the new service economy.
The project management portion of the education needs to be better defined and explained to students. There is no entry level project management job. You do a job for an extended period of time and then if you are good at it and good at leading you become a project manager in the field you worked. You do not get a degree with emphasis in project management and then become a "junior project manager" or anything of that nature.
The education at DeVry is overpriced for every degree type except their specialty area of programming and other technology related fields. You will not command a great deal of respect with a degree outside of those areas from DeVry.
