Message from the President

Dear Student,

Welcome to DeVry University! As you make this significant investment in yourself and in your

education and career goals, I hope you do so with immense pride. Whether transferring from

community college; attending part time or full time while managing family and other

commitments; or returning to school to reskill or upskill, building your future is exciting. Rest

assured; DeVry will be with you every step of the way.

Our founder, Dr. Herman DeVry, believed visual learning would advance education and change

the world. In inventing a portable movie projector, Dr. DeVry expanded the reach of film to

classrooms; in 1931, classrooms would begin bearing his name, as he established what’s

known today as DeVry University. We proudly continue his legacy of providing technology-

focused, applications-oriented education. Throughout their careers, hundreds of thousands of

DeVry alumni – many the first in their families to attend college, many the latest in generations

of family members calling DeVry home – have applied their education to enhance their lives,

businesses, and communities. Our graduates have, as Dr. DeVry predicted, changed the world.

The following pages highlight the diverse academic programs and student services upon which

DeVry University has built its reputation. Further supporting DeVry’s commitment to education

excellence is institutional accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission

and from diverse

programmatic accreditors. I invite you to learn more about this accreditation, and about DeVry

University’s Accountability Principles, which guide us – always – in doing what’s best for students.

I also proudly share that Newsweek ranked DeVry University 6

of 200 on its list of “America’s

Top Online Colleges

.” Fitting school into your busy schedule isn’t easy; DeVry’s online and

blended/hybrid learning options, and six start dates a year, help.

Among the many benefits of DeVry University is learning from professors – never teaching

assistants – who infuse their business and industry experience into our eight-week courses.

Exceptional student care is another hallmark of DeVry. As you progress through your studies,

I’m confident you’ll find DeVry offers a nurturing environment in which to challenge yourself,

gain new skills, and build lasting friendships and mentor relationships.

As president of DeVry, my top priority is building a university that delivers the education

experience you want while helping catalyze the future you envision. We’re grateful to assist you

in advancing your ambition and confident you’re going places. Enjoy the journey.

Sincerely,

Elise Awwad

Credit Hour Definition, Schedule Information & Course Levels

Credit Hour Definition

DeVry University follows the federal definition of a semester credit hour. The U.S. Department of

Education (USDE) defines a credit hour as one hour (i.e., 50 minutes) of classroom or direct

faculty/qualified instructor instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work

each week for approximately 15 weeks (i.e., 45 hours of learning activities). This definition also

aligns with definitions from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and the Illinois Board of

Higher Education (IBHE).

DeVry operates on a semester calendar; each semester consists of two eight-week sessions

(visit the Student-Centric Period section). Courses may be offered through alternate scheduling

options and teaching modalities, which are awarded equivalent semester-credit hours. Teaching

modalities include the blended/hybrid modality (a mix of onsite and online) and the purely online

modality. Course materials, learning objectives and program outcomes are equivalent across all

teaching modalities.

DeVry University defines one credit hour based on a 15-week semester as the reasonable

equivalent of one hour of documented faculty-directed instruction and two hours of academically

engaged student learning. One hour of instruction is further defined as a 50-minute period. The

combined three hours occur each week for 15 weeks. Alternate scheduling options equate to

the 15-week semester.

Scheduling options are shown in the Academic Calendar section. The University’s course

delivery modalities are outlined in the Course Delivery section.

At DeVry, a credit hour is defined as the learning that takes place in at least 45 hours of in-

person or online learning activities, which include time for faculty-directed instruction, class

meetings, laboratories, examinations, presentations, tutorials, preparation, reading, studying,

hands-on experiences, simulations, case studies and other learning activities; or a

demonstration by the student of learning equivalent to the established student outcomes.

Students should note that credit hours shown in each program in the Colleges & Programs of

Study section are semester-credit hours, as aligned with credit hour definitions from the USDE,

HLC and IBHE.

Student-Centric Period

The student-centric period (SCP) is defined as an academic semester consisting of any two

consecutive sessions that begins when a student matriculates and that ends when time

requirements for a semester have been fulfilled.

Two overlapping calendar cycles designate sessions corresponding to DeVry’s summer, fall and

spring semesters. At the time students matriculate, they are assigned an SCP designator code

of Cycle 1 or Cycle 2. The chart below outlines how sessions correspond to a student’s spring,

summer and fall semesters, based on assigned SCP cycle.

Student-Centric-Period Cycles

Cycle 2 Sessions

Certain processes are conducted on a session basis; others are conducted on a semester

basis.

Academic Year

The academic year at DeVry University is defined as two consecutive semesters.

DeVry offers enrollment in three semesters per 12-month period. DeVry offers courses in a

session-based format (visit the Student-Centric Period section).

Course Levels

DeVry offers undergraduate courses at the 100-400 levels. Courses at the 100 and 200 levels

are lower-division courses; 300- and 400-level courses are upper-division courses.

Characteristics of courses at each level, as well as how course levels may align to Bloom’s

Taxonomy (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation) and Miller’s

Pyramid – recollection (knows), interpretation/application (knows how), demonstration (shows),

performance (does) – are:

• 100 Level: Courses at the 100 level typically provide a foundation of knowledge upon which

students can further build their understanding of topics and concepts in future courses.

Students focus on knowledge and comprehension levels and are provided opportunities to

demonstrate their understanding through application and analysis. Typically, 100-level

courses have no prerequisites or require other lower-division courses as prerequisites.

• 200 Level: Courses at the 200 level typically includes more advanced introductory courses

covering complex concepts, with some courses building on understanding achieved in

100-level courses. Coursework emphasizes application and analysis, such as through

hands-on practical exercises and supervised experiential learning. In some 200-level

courses, students begin to synthesize and evaluate information presented.

• 300 Level: Courses at the 300 level typically present students with more discipline-specific

concepts, frameworks, and/or tools and technologies that often build on skills and

knowledge covered in required 100- and 200-level courses. Students combine application

and analysis skills acquired in lower-division courses with synthesis and evaluation skills to

explore real-world problems.

• 400 Level: Courses at the 400 level typically are designed to advance students’

understanding of discipline-specific concepts and frameworks, and/or skill with various tools

and technologies. These courses cover complex topics requiring advanced independent

thought. Such courses include senior projects, advanced specialization courses, and

practica or supervised experiential learning.

Colleges & Programs of Study

Note: At DeVry College of New York, programs are offered by Schools within the College.

General Notes

The pages that follow describe each DeVry University program, including program outcomes,

degree or certificate awarded, program length, and program outlines that display program

options and courses required for graduation.

Course sequences may vary, and DeVry reserves the right to revise, add or delete courses;

alter the total number of class hours; and/or suspend, cancel or postpone a class for reasons

including, but not limited to, the following: natural occurrences or other circumstances beyond

DeVry’s control, holidays, special institutional activity days and registration days. If it becomes

necessary for any reason to interrupt its regular class schedules or starting dates, DeVry may,

upon reasonable advance notice, suspend or cancel instruction. DeVry will advise students as

soon as possible of dates for resumption of classes.

If the number of students enrolling in a starting class is deemed insufficient, DeVry reserves the

right to cancel the starting class (a class that begins the first term of an academic program). If

this occurs, applicants will be given a full refund, within 30 days, of the application fee and

prepaid tuition. If a continuing program or class is cancelled, students will be offered the

opportunity to transfer within the DeVry system with full credit for all coursework completed.

Each student is required to complete a substantial portion of their program online. Not all

programs are offered at all locations and online. Some courses may not be offered every

session. Students should check with a student support advisor or location leader regarding

course availability and delivery modality.

Applicants and students should consult DeVry’s admissions staff or a student support advisor

when reviewing information regarding DeVry locations, programs and courses such as:

• Enrolled Location: Students’ enrolled location is determined at the time of admission and is

reflected in enrollment materials and in DeVry’s student information system. Programs and

specializations are limited to those offered by students’ enrolled location. Each student is

required to complete a substantial portion of their program online.

• Programs: Students should be aware that:

o Availability of programs, specializations (including concentrations, majors, technical

specialties and tracks) and courses varies by location and delivery method. Some

courses, including those required for some specializations, may be available online only.

o Program outlines show the minimum credit hours required for graduation. In some

programs, there may be a slight difference between minimum credit hours required for

graduation and total credit hours required if all courses are taken at DeVry. Credit hour

differences may benefit students with qualifying transfer credit. Students should contact

a student support advisor for more information.

• Specializations: Successful completion of a specialization – including concentrations,

majors, technical specialties and tracks – is noted on transcripts of students who declare

such a specialization. Specializations are not shown on diplomas.

• Program Footnotes: Some situations may result in program requirements that differ from

those shown in the program outlines. Footnotes that refer to specific state requirements

indicate their applicability to students enrolled at a location within the state, to state

residents enrolled as online students or to both. Footnotes refer to students’ enrolled

location, as defined above, or to students’ state of residence, regardless of the location at

which students’ classes are taught.

• Courses: The following courses, when applicable to the chosen program, must be taken at

DeVry: CARD205, CARD405, CARD415, CEIS101, COLL148, HIM461 and LAS432; and

senior project and capstone courses ACCT461, BUSN460, COMM491, COMM492, HIT277,

JADM490, JADM494 and TECH460. Transfer and proficiency credits are not granted to fulfill

these requirements.

Program-Completion-Time Options

Each program can be completed on a normal-time-to-complete schedule or on a minimum-time-

to-complete schedule, or through a combination of these schedule options. Each session within

their student-centric period (semester), students choose the schedule that best suits their goals

and their commitments outside of school.

Each program outline in this catalog shows program completion time in terms of semesters for

both normal-time-to-complete and minimum-time-to-complete schedules.

• Normal-time-to-complete schedule: Students enrolling with a normal-time-to-complete

schedule complete two semesters (four sessions) per each 12-consecutive-month period.

• Minimum-time-to-complete schedule: Students enrolling with a minimum-time-to-

complete schedule maintain continuous year-round enrollment. Thus, these students

complete three semesters (six sessions) per each 12-consecutive-month period.

All program completion times are expressed in calendar time (any period of 12 consecutive

months starting at the beginning of a DeVry University session) and assume enrollment in the

per-semester credit-hour range shown. Normal completion times assume students complete two

semesters per 12-month period once they begin their program; minimum completion times

assume students complete three semesters per 12-month period once they begin their program.

In rare cases, a program’s stated completion time is the same for both normal-time-to-complete

and minimum-time-to-complete schedules.

DeVry Certificate and Associate Degree Holders

For students who earned a DeVry undergraduate certificate or associate degree and are

enrolling in a DeVry program culminating in a more advanced academic credential, the

University reviews DeVry coursework for applicability to the new program of enrollment. In

addition, DeVry may adjust bachelor’s degree program requirements as follows:

• Successful completion of ETHC232 may be used to fulfill a Humanities requirement in the

bachelor’s degree program.

• Successful completion of CARD205 may be used to fulfill part of the Personal and

Professional Development requirement in the bachelor’s degree program, and CARD415 is

taken in lieu of CARD405.
