DeVry University is a private, for-profit institution of higher education. Founded in 1931, it operates multiple campuses across the United States and offers online programs. Unlike public universities, which receive government funding, DeVry relies on tuition and private investments.
The university provides career-oriented programs in fields like business, technology, and healthcare. As a private entity, it has flexibility in curriculum design but does not benefit from public subsidies, leading to higher tuition costs compared to public institutions. Accreditation is granted by the Higher Learning Commission, ensuring academic standards are met despite its for-profit status.
