Message from the President

Dear Student,

Welcome to the DeVry University family, and congratulations on taking this important step toward realizing your educational goals. Know that our talented faculty and committed student support staff will be there for you every step of the way. It is our goal to help you become a successful student, and ultimately, a successful graduate of DeVry University.

As a DeVry student, you will be a part of an institution with a heritage of innovation. Our forward-thinking founder, Dr. Herman DeVry, believed that visual learning would advance education ? and change the world. With his invention of the first portable movie projector, he expanded the reach of film, bringing movies out of the theater and into businesses, homes and most importantly, into classrooms. In 1931, he established an institution of higher learning, envisioning the kind of technology-focused, hands-on education that DeVry University still stands for today.

Through our educational options, you have the opportunity to pursue career-focused, real-world degree programs and credentials, experience a variety of class environments to complement your learning style, and tailor your class schedule to fit your life.

What We Teach Technology is at the core of many of our associate, bachelor's and certificate programs with a TechPath educational approach. Every TechPath class revolves around a unique learning rubric to help you gain skills in collaboration, adapt to new structures, create innovative ways of working, and be knowledgeable working with data and using a wide spectrum of tech-forward tools. We believe our TechPath approach helps address a growing technology skills gap among current U.S. employees and job applicants1, offering a distinct value that can help our graduates stand out in the modern workplace.

Where We Teach Whether you take courses at one of our locations or online; our faculty and administrators are there to support you.

How We Teach DeVry professors bring years of real-world experience into your classes. They know their students by name and encourage, mentor and believe in them. In addition, we have a committed support staff who guide students through scheduling and finances and coach them on career preparation. These are the hallmarks of how we educate and support our students.

Why We Teach Seeing our students reach their potential and transform their lives is an awe-inspiring experience. It is what wakes us up in the morning and inspires us each day. We are lucky to be part of something so incredible and so important. This is why we are proud to have awarded more than 200,000 undergraduate degrees nationwide.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute toward your future success and we are excited about what lies ahead for you. All the best as you continue your educational journey.

Sincerely,

Thomas L. Monahan III President & CEO, DeVry University
