Directory of Schools Shines Spotlight On DeVry University -- Taking Its Students Where They Really Want To Go

Santa Rosa, Calif. (PRWeb) February 13, 2006 -- You hear it everywhere -- the discussions about pursuing higher learning for the sake of some intangible, yet honorable, reward. Feed the intellect, follow the ‘truth’ wherever it may lead you, and finally -- enlightenment. But the real truth is that most students pursue a college education to increase their earning power, to get on track for a promotion, or to change careers. DeVry University understands this truth and has been successfully guiding motivated, diligent students to lucrative and satisfying careers.

Online giant DirectoryofSchools.com, a leader in marketing online degrees, is spotlighting DeVry University, a school with a winning formula for increasing the career success of its business, technology and management students. The percentage of its graduates that are currently employed in their fields of study is phenomenal. And this is no accident; it is the intentional commitment of a dedicated faculty and staff along with a well-planned and relevant course of study.    

With people living longer and pursuing new careers later in life, the rising number of adults heading back to school is reflected in the popularity of DeVry’s online degree programs. Students from all over the world have found that the ability to study when and where they want is simply too tempting, especially from such a highly accredited university. And younger students desiring to travel abroad need no longer delay their educational aspirations. With a laptop, a modem, and an internet connection, college studies can continue anywhere. The future that we once peeked at through sci-fi venues is now here; and there exists a feast of opportunity for those who are ready to partake.

Choices for online degree study at DeVry include eight concentrations in the field of business administration -- Accounting, Business Information Systems, E-Commerce, Health Services Management, Project Management, Sales and Marketing, Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship. Other online degree programs include Computer Information Systems, Information Technology and Technical Management. DeVry University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association.

DeVry continually monitors the constant changes in technology and in business, so that its graduates are well-trained in the latest applications that are most valuable to employers. Online degree students interact with teachers and other students via e-mail and threaded conversations. Group projects take place online. Lectures and class notes are posted online; and a virtual library and online bookstore are also available for online degree students. The same high-quality education found on DeVry’s 70 worldwide campuses is available online.

This up-to-date training has been vital in successfully placing DeVry graduates into jobs after graduation. In a 10 year period ending in October 2004, 91% of DeVry graduates were reportedly employed in their fields within 6 months of graduation. This number includes graduates who were already employed. The Career Services Center at DeVry provides career assessment and job-hunting information to students, including resume writing and interview skills. Long after graduation, the DeVry graduate can continue to utilize this resource.

Millions of dollars in scholarships assist DeVry students every year; and financial aid counselors welcome the opportunity to aid potential students in deciding how to pay for their college education. A combination of financial aid assistance -- grants, loans, part-time jobs -- is available to qualified students. There are also flexible payment plans for tuition. Active-duty U.S. military, National Guard and Reserve personnel and their spouses are eligible for significant tuition discounts. DeVry has covered all the bases.

And guess what? When you walk through the open doors of opportunity along your educational path, you may be surprised to find that you have attained a deeper understanding of the world around you. Some might even call that ‘enlightenment’.
