Preparing Students for the Future
Deciding to earn a college degree is one of the most important decisions a student can make. A DeVry University education starts students down a lifelong path of learning and career success. DeVry understands what college-bound students value in an education and provides educational opportunities and choices that truly prepare students for their futures from the classroom to the workplace.
Technology is changing and so are the opportunities to put technology degrees to work. From homeland security and health care to computer games and law enforcement, technology is being used in new ways. As a result, technology careers have morphed from basic programming jobs into knowledge-based careers that demand project management, analysis, and writing and communication skills.
With three locations in the Dallas area, including Irving, Ft. Worth and Richardson, DeVry University offers a wide array of degree programs that prepare students for some of today's hottest careers. Bachelor's degree programs include biomedical engineering technology, business administration, computer engineering technology, computer information systems, electronics engineering technology, game and simulation programming, health information technology, network and communications management, and technical management. Associate degree programs in electronics and computer technology and network systems administration are also available.
DeVry University's Keller Graduate School of Management also offers graduate degree programs in accounting and financial management, business administration, human resource management, information systems management and project management.
In addition to offering career-oriented programs and an applied approach to teaching and learning, DeVry University focuses on providing students with individual attention and support through small classes and support services designed to help students succeed. Classes are taught by professors with real-world work experience in their field of expertise.
DeVry University students graduate with a balance of technical and professional knowledge, skills and credentials that prepare them for the workplace on day one. Additionally, DeVry students complete a variety of general education courses, communications, the humanities and social science – all designed to ensure that students understand how what they do supports core business strategies of companies and allows them to make active and positive contributions to the workplace.
DeVry University excels in helping students prepare for their job search. Starting in their freshman year, students are informed about internships and co-op programs that provide them with practical, on-the-job experience. DeVry's career services department also helps students build their professional network through participation in career fairs and social gatherings. Students are taught how to effectively communicate their skills and experiences verbally and on their resumes and cover letters.
DeVry's approach works. Businesses throughout the Dallas area appreciate the added value that DeVry graduates bring when they enter the workforce, as is evidenced by the number of companies that recruit our students and the number of our graduates they hire each year. According to recent employment statistics, 96 percent of DeVry Irving graduates in the active job market were employed in their fields within six months of graduation at an average salary of $42,000.*
Additionally, DeVry understands that a college education may be difficult to attain due to the high costs of attending traditional colleges and universities. By offering classes year-round and allowing students to begin classes in their majors right away, DeVry University helps students earn a bachelor's degree in as few as three years. DeVry also provides individualized financial aid assistance to those who qualify, making a DeVry education affordable. Because DeVry students can enter the workplace more quickly, they often begin earning a salary sooner than their fellow college students.
