As you embark on your education journey, know that DeVry University is firmly committed to helping you reach your full career potential Yes, indeed - The road to nowhere , leaving students deep in debt while the DeVry fat cats (executives) line their pockets and fill their bank accounts with your financial aid, military benefits and scholarship money for that sub-standard education you received.  

This year marks an important milestone for DeVry - Reap What You Sow - As the stock markets are finally revealing the truth about DeVry and other for-profit schools consistency. With 37 MILLION Americans having Student Loan DEBTS totaling $870 BILLION, over 300,000 Americans with Graduate Degrees Collecting Welfare, Including 30,000 PhD's - this education fraud has to STOP. Here and Now. The government and state officials have to keep vigilant where financial aid for education is dispersed. There has to be stricter regulations on for-profit schools where graduation rates are falling and paper mill degrees are consistently increasing only so they can stay on the gravy train at the students expense.

We are all striving to meet certain goals in our lives without having to live our entire life in poverty,
having to repay student loan debts for worthless paper-mill degrees. 

The things that consume our daily lives must continue to serve the greater purpose and that is to stop for-profit schools like DeVry from stealing our right to a steadfast college education.
 
At DeVry University theres a common motto employees often say, We have a lot in common with our students and that is  MONEY - DeVry Receives while Students Lose and students gain a  worthless education.

 Career Education says students showing less interest in for-profit education. Wonder Why! DeVry Stocks are Sinking Faster than the Titanic  these days. Their lack-luster reputation for not providing a decent university education in a tough job market should  explain why DeVry's enrollments are going down under.

Devry degrees are worthless

AUTHOR: hoapres - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, May 24, 2012

I have been involved in many hiring decisions in Silicon Valley and an almost sure way to get your resume sent to the circular file for an entry level position in IT is to have ANY for profit school such as Devry, ITT Tech, University of Phoenix, Heald, Everest, etc. on it.

That may not be fair but those are the facts of life.

Most entry level IT jobs are of the throw away variety paying under $20 an hour without benefits.  The booming IT field is anything but.

You don't need to go to college to pick up a cert.  Pick up the book and read the material.

#5 Consumer Suggestion

Do your research

AUTHOR: Niko234 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, May 24, 2012

Ah yes, the for profit education market. With so many folks wanting to have that treasured piece of paper in the shortest amount of time. Just like with any traditional university you have to do your research. DeVry is an authorized education institution however, many of their credits will not transfer due to them not meeting whatever college or university you want to transfer too. It is true alot of companies do frown on these degrees mainly because it is the easy path. It shows that you would rather take the easy way rather then stick it out. In addition many employers have continuing education requirements that DeVry's degrees will not be able to prepare you for. Now that being said, the IT programs of some of these for profit colleges are worth a look at. The certifications they offer are worthwhile in the job market. My best advice again, is to do your research on the educational institution. Just because a place is certified does not mean it is universal.

Devry degrees are worthless

AUTHOR: hoapres - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, May 24, 2012

Sad but true.

Devry degrees are worthless in search of employment.

Those unfortunately are the facts of life and it is hard to take any school seriously that is reduced to advertising on the AOL mail welcome page bragging "...is an olympic athlete and a Devry University student...".

DeVry University

AUTHOR: DeVry University - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, May 24, 2012

For more than 80 years, DeVry University (www.DeVry.edu) has been providing quality career-oriented higher education. DeVry University has been institutionally accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (www.ncahlc.org) since 1981, the same regional agency that accredits the University of Michigan, Purdue University, Notre Dame, the United States Air Force Academy, and many other top universities.

Since 1975, over 250,000 undergraduate students system-wide have graduated from DeVry University.  In fact, each year thousands of our graduates find themselves right where they want to be employed in their field of study. We are so proud of our respectable track record that we make the most current graduate employment rates by degree program available for the public to compare to other institutions: http://www.devry.edu/career-services/employment-statistics.jsp

Graduates of DeVry University are able to achieve their educational and career goals through associate, bachelors and masters degree programs and specializations covering 34 different career fields.  Additionally, DeVry Universitys Keller Graduate School of Management offers graduate programs in 16 distinct areas of concentration.

We encourage prospective students to research the full and complete facts about the schools they are considering.  With more than 95 locations in metro areas across the United States and Canada, and through an unparalleled flexible offering of year-round day, night, weekend and online coursework, we will continue to stand behind DeVry Universitys mission to foster student learning through high-quality, career-oriented education integrating technology, science, business and the arts.

Devry is a joke.

AUTHOR: hoapres - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, May 14, 2012

Devry is a joke.

Every couple of days Devry advertises buys up the AOL mail welcome screen splashing "Donovan Ford is a 2016 US Olympic hopeful and a Devry university student".  "...as they prepare for careers in tomorrow's leading fields. Business, Healthcare Management and Technology,..."

Reality Check.

NO ONE takes a Devry graduate seriously.

The problem for Devry is that everyone is figuring it out that ALL the for profit schools are a big joke with rapidly decreasing enrollments.

DeVry Sinking Faster Than the Titanic

AUTHOR: Carlos - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, May 13, 2012

More than $1 TRILLION in Student Loans Outstanding in this Country

In the 1990s, for-profit colleges boomed by spending heavily on marketing and recruiting.  Despite
numerous ethical lapses and fraud, enrollment more than doubled in the past decade and Wall Street swooned over the stocks. The tides are finally turning and it seems their ship has run aground Or should we say it sunk in the mighty sea of deception. DeVry let the winds of deception take their ship without steering. Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive.
