Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State

Studying Technical Management (completion in 2009)
• 7/19/2011
"I'm glad I went to DeVry. I did accumulate a lot of student loan debt by doing it, though."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | DeVry does have that great reputation for technical majors. I think they execute their 'can-be-exclusively-online' approach well. |
| Program Reputation | 6 | I'm not really sure how my specific program rates. DeVry overall has a really high reputation for technical majors. |
| Program Quality | 7 | DeVry has a great reputation for technical majors and I felt like it lived up to those expectations. I learned things I apply everyday at my current job. |
| Instruction | 8 | Career development is a core class at DeVry that everyone takes regardless of major. I learned a great deal and fine tuned tidbits of knowledge I already knew. Nice to have had some management classes in my program. |
| How Difficult | 7 | I juggled a full-time schedule and a full-time job which was definitely challenging. I was pretty busy with class work in every bit of free time I had. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Again, with most of my classes being online, there was mostly a hands-off approach. Virtual learning labs were still available and used by me in at least one class. Definitely more hands on in some of the few classes I had on campus. I think they were career development related. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | At DeVry, EVERY class is available online. The classes I did take on-site were in the evening so they didn't interfere with my full-time job. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | Access to these resources was available, but since most of my classes were online they were unconventional. For example, we had no tangible library at my campus, but it was brand new. Not sure if that has changed since I graduated. |
| Social Life | 5 | Considering most class offerings at my campus were online, there definitely were no athletics so to speak of. Occasionally there were events that brought all the students together but for me, most interaction happened in the classroom, whether virtual or face-to-face. |
| Placement Services | 5 | I'm glad these services are offered, but I haven't sought them so far. I have the same job I did before I got my degree and I'm definitely thinking about making 2011 my final year there. Definitely considering contacting career services for help. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I like that DeVry offers career assistance and help with job placement. I get emails regarding the alumni association that seem informative but I don't actively engage in the association. |
