The outcomes below were reported to CAHIIM in May 2024. CAHIIM required only summary data for graduates. A placement rate was not reported. Data was reported for all students who graduated between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023. In-field and out-of-field employment includes new employment obtained within a year after graduation. “New employment” is defined as employment obtained no earlier than 6 months prior to graduation. “Existing employment” is defined as employment that existed at the time of enrollment or was obtained more than 6 months prior to graduation.

Note: DeVry University is required to report employment data to CAHIIM. DeVry University does not guarantee employment. Readers should not make assumptions about their own likelihood of employment based on this data. Attempts were made to obtain employment status information for all graduates. Collected data includes, but is not limited to, the intent to work in a field-related position and, for those who are so employed, the graduate’s start date, title, employer name, duties, hours worked per week and earnings. Information was gathered through a variety of means. Generally, information was gathered from forms graduates completed. Data may also have been collected through in-person, telephone or email interviews with graduates or from third-party sources. DeVry University neither verifies nor guarantees the accuracy of information gathered.

Transfer credit reduces the number of courses students must take and correspondingly reduces students’ costs. This credit does not affect grade point average calculations.
Students who receive transfer credit for a course are not automatically granted associated credit for prerequisite courses.
Students must complete a Request for Transfer Credit form and submit it to the admissions advisor (admissions representative in Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska and online), or student support advisor or academic advisor, with all required materials when applying to receive transfer credit. Students should check with their admissions representative/student support advisor/academic advisor for more detailed information.
Articulation agreements facilitate ease of transferring credits among institutions. DeVry University maintains articulation agreements with many colleges and universities, as well as with entities such as the military.
The University awards transfer credit, as appropriate, based on recommendations of the American Council on Education College Credit Recommendation Service, which evaluates workforce and military training programs to determine their comparability to college-level learning. To earn credit, students must have the minimum ACE requirements, such as the minimum recommended score or higher for their certification or training programs. Additional information on workforce and military training recommendations is available via the National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training and the ACE Military Guide Online, respectively.
Evaluation of previous postsecondary education and training is mandatory for VA beneficiaries. DeVry grants appropriate credit, reduces program length proportionately, notifies students and Veterans Affairs in writing of this decision, and adjusts invoicing to the VA accordingly for students using veterans benefits and approved for transfer credit as a result of this evaluation.
DeVry University maintains a written record of previous undergraduate and graduate education completed by veterans and all persons eligible for veterans benefits. A copy of official transcripts used to evaluate transfer credit is maintained in students’ permanent records. This record, required for either program admission or transfer-credit review, clearly indicates when appropriate transfer credit has been given. Veterans enrolled in a DeVry University course for which credit has already been earned at a University-recognized institution cannot include that course in the total hours reported to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It is students’ responsibility to be aware of prior credit eligible for transfer.
