Don't listen to what a lot of people on here say. I went to DeVry, and I always get ragged on. Peopla re just pissed that they went to a "real" school for a Business degree and can't find work, when DeVry and ITT grads already have jobs.

it might help you land a job, but not if you're compeating against someone with a real diploma.
for example... I have a BA in English Lit from Penn State. When applying for my heavily-tech-related job, I beat out dozens of tech school grads, even though their education was more applicable than mine. Having a college degree shows that you have the capacity and desire to learn; it means that your employer will be able to teach you whatever they want you to know, and that you won't need to be led by the hand once you have all the tools in your hand to get the job done.

Where are all the DeVry remarks? I can't believe no one has mentioned them yet...
Do you guys think the same thing of DeVry? I work with ~8 other DeVry grads at my company, and DeVry is the first place they look when hiring people. Maybe this company has just gotten lucky, but all the guys I work worth are very good at what they do. The school has nothing to do with your capabilities... it just shows that you can learn.

My rule is simple
If a "college" advertises on radio or tv, its not reputable.
i've found FEW exceptions to that rule.
