DeVry University is a decent educational institution I graduated from ECPI with a degree in Telecommunications Technology. I transfered to New England Institute of Technology earned a degree in Electronics Engineering Tech and I also graduated from DeVry University with a degree in Technical Management. I'm now finishing up my Masters in Telecommunications Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology. I have read so many negative post about DeVry and ECPI. As I mention earlier I was successful at both these schools and they were very challenging. It seems to me most of you did not apply yourselves or stayed up on your financial responsibilities at the these schools. You are adults not children, things are not just taken care of for you. It is your responsibility to keep up on everything when attending school. Not just class assignments but the financial aspects of it too. None of these negative post hold weight you cannot discredit any of these schools for your irresponsibility. I enjoyed every minute of these educational institution and what they provided to me. I attend classes and did well at each one of them. So when I see these negative post and misleading information that the school is not regionally accredited shows me why you failed or struggled!

DeVry I graduated from DeVry with a BS in electronic engineering technology and an MBA from keller. I was going to DeVry while working full time as a Techniian. After recieving my bachelors degree I moved to an engineering role. This was not easy because of the technolgy degree and my choice of school. I was told this by my manangement. I did and do have the skills necessary to perform my job, so DeVry provide necessary tools to be successful once I got the opportunity, but this is where the problem lyes. Some one has to give you the opportunity to prove yourself, and this may prove to be a difficult task depending on the industry.

DeVry is Unethical DeVry is an expensive school. I am paying cash, $2,000 a month or more. Teachers are generally good, but I had one who tried to teach leadership when she had no concept of what it was. Their major problems are IT and support. Their IT system is an antiquated hodgepodge of legacy computers and outdated systems. Hence, one department does not know what another is doing. But their major problem is that they send Emails which appear to have been sent from a certain party but were not. This is duplicitous, unethical, and impersonating. They completely screwed up my account. I was sent an Email demanding the wrong amount of money or I could not register. It also said I had agreed to pay up front, which I hadn't. I didn't know who sent it becaus ethe sender masqueraded themselves as my Student Support Advisor. I became upset at her unnecessarily because I intially thought she had sent it. Bottom line: DeVry has a serious problem with ethical behavior. They teach it but they don't do it. I really do not wish to pay $2,000 a month for this, but I have so many classes accumulated I may not be able to switch schools. If this sort of thing does not bother you, the academics are not bad. But I expect anyone I deal with to practice what they preach.

Pleased with DeVry/Keller I have graduated from DeVry with an undergrad in Technical Management and an MBA. I will say that missing up your class attendance between online and on campus is the way to go if your schedule allows it. You can't really compare DeVry to an tradionals university. They are for profit, but they are also seeking a different type of student. One that wants to complete their degree without giving up on a full-time job, and complete their degree in a timely manner. DeVry is not for everyone. The courses move quickly and it take displine to complete the online course. Most of the course material and instructors were great. I made it a point to complete the mathmatical course work on-campus.

Comprehensive and Flexible MBA I travel extensively for work, and because of that I knew that I would need an online MBA program. I looked at various reviews for several institutions, looked at the program design, and also looked at the online interface (DeVry & Keller use the eCollege web interface that is much nicer (IMO) than Blackboard). After narrowing it down to two universities, I spoke with a few grads from each, looked at graduation rates, and also looked at the distribution of grades (didn't want a program where everyone received 'A's). One of the things I really liked about the Keller MBA program was the variety of concentrations, the solid core curriculum, and elective courses that I could use to tailor the program in a way that provided the greatest interest and value to me. The program was solid, and all of the instructors / professors were knowledgeable and helpful. I found the online courses to be much more challenging than traditional course. Instead of having immediate direct interaction with others in your class, you needed to research online posts and provide support for your statements and assertions. It really forced you to learn more about a subject. The downside was that if you had problems with something you also did not get immediate feedback, so you might spend more time on a subject than you planned. But, that is likely true for most online programs. I work with many MBAs - many from traditional universities with good reputations. I can hold my own when we discuss finance, economics, strategy, and other MBA-like topics. It has also helped be perform better in my job (management), although I can't say that it has helped me earn a higher salary. But, all-in-all I am very satisfied with the quality of the education received.
