Can DeVry Learn Anything From the Failure of University of Phoenix?
Like UoPX, DeVry certainly has a storied past. If I'm not mistaken, DV was one of the first for-profit colleges to be regionally accredited and to have an IPO. Like Phoenix, it also took the wrong path when it got too greedy. Remember the... — read more

How long have all the DeVry campuses been closed?

How is this place still up and running?
When I left three years ago I was convinced this place would be gone within a year. To see that it's still up and running is a shock, to put it mildly. All I can say is that I feel sorry for the people who are still there. I can't imagine having to... — read more
