“We are proud to be a part of the Ontario community,” said Danielle Sperandeo, PhD, campus dean. “After being in a neighboring suburb for more than two decades, our goal was to remain in the area to continue serving our students, while being able to offer vibrant and modern educational facilities. The move to Ontario has been seamless thanks to the support of our faculty, staff and community.”
DeVry University offers associate, bachelor and master degree programs, online or at one of its 45+ locations nationwide, including Ontario.
