I haven't quite finished my certificate yet, so I can't speak to the career enhancement aspect of the school, however, I've had such a good experience I'm going to pursue my Bachelor's with DeVry after this. Traditional school was always a struggle for me, despite the fact that I love to learn! The teachers have been wonderful and encouraging, as well as experts in their fields, and the format makes it a great option for those of us with busy lives outside of school. I also love that it's open book/note-... Read More even though I know the material by the end of each class, it takes so much pressure off (especially for those of us with test anxiety). If you want to learn, and you haven't had great luck with traditional classrooms, I'd highly recommend giving DeVry a chance. You can even do what I did and sort of test the waters with a certificate program- it's a nice short term commitment that can still help improve your career opportunities, and if you like it and decide to apply your certificate classes to another degree you even get an alumni discount.

Last year, I decided to pursue a new career after lots of changes in my life. I researched the Medical Billing and Coding program, and even spoke with an incredibly friendly and informative advisor who explained the program and its potential for my future. I explained to her that I was currently unemployed and could take the year to complete the certificate program, get an entry-level job in the field, and then return to pursue higher degrees in Health Information Management. She agreed it was a... Read More respectable plan and we both agreed it would get me back on my feet and employed by this year.
Fast forward to when I complete my program and graduate with honors. I start working with a career advisor whose job is to guide students in things like resum茅s, interview questions, and especially where it鈥檚 ideal to job hunt with my new certification. We would spend an hour together on the phone every few weeks going over my LinkedIn profile, what should and should not be on my resum茅, and even consoled some of my fears with future interviews. My first confusing scenario was being told I had access to my career advisor for 3 months. My last day of class was February 28th, and our first meeting was mid-February. We had a total of 4 visits together in a two month span, the last being April 15 which she deemed our last visit. I expressed to her my concerns that I had put in so many job applications since February (a total of 96 by then), and had received no call backs or interviews, only denials. She said it had to do with the number of applicants and that it 鈥渏ust takes time.鈥� I explained to her that some applications I was hunting down that had just been posted that day, or even 30 mins prior, so I was not applying to old listings. She continued to repeat that I just needed to be patient as it would take time, and that I needed to 鈥減ersevere.鈥� I asked her if the resum茅 that she put together for me maybe needed to be reevaluated and altered, but she said it was fine and I鈥檇 eventually get calls.
I have now submitted a total of 142 applications since the middle of February. I鈥檝e had no call backs or interviews. I took the initiative of submitting my resum茅 to a close friend who works for another prestigious University, who then forwarded it to her boss who has a Masters Degree in education. It was presented to me by both of them that the resum茅 was put together very poorly and didn鈥檛 target the audience I was aiming for with the jobs I鈥檝e been pursuing. I began feeling less supported by the advisor who told me I could inform her of any updates with interviews, but again my concerns had been invalidated so I did not feel like she could give me the advice I was looking for to succeed. Considering she was aware that I am currently unemployed, I expected some compassion as my fear has been growing that I won鈥檛 find a career in this field. At our last visit, I asked her if DeVry had a connection with any companies/practices/hospitals that openly look for new graduates post graduation. Her only response was no, and to keep navigating the DeVry job board. I applied for jobs on the school job board, indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and Glass door. I am not limiting myself to specific job descriptions or locations. Overall, DeVry has NOT in anyway guided me through this process or provided any sort of support beyond my graduation and being a good student. As of April 21, 2025, almost two months since graduation, I have not been interviewed or accepted to any positions in the field certification I just spent tens of thousands of dollars to acquire. Devry over promises and under delivers, and makes adults feel as though they can change their life and help support their dreams, when in fact their goal is to recruit students for status and money.

I would not recommend Devry for students that want to develop their career or gain new skills. This is not the place.

This institution does not provide a comparable education to traditional 2 or 4 year schools, nor is the education transferable to a career in business. I took these classes through Devry because they are easier than a local university; there is minimal interaction between students and the professor and the quality of the education was frankly a joke. I could have sourced better lesson... Read More plans from the internet or ChatGPT and would have learned more. At best, the courses I took had not been updated for 15 years.

The courses I took were inferior to comparable courses I attended during my undergraduate and graduate courses at other institutions. I would not recommend Devry for any student that is serious about their education.

I took these courses for CPA credits, but I wish I had actually learned something along the way.

I have had a great experience with the school since the very beginning I have received two certificates in a degree so far in going for my bachelors in my Masters. I would say that Quinton Banks has been very helpful in the student service department he鈥檚 been very professional patient knowledgeable and also empathetic I would recommend anybody going to the school if you are looking for a higher education and people who are knowledgeable and sensible of your life.I have had a great experience with...
