About This School
DeVry University-California is a private for-profit institution located in Ontario, California with approximately 2,378 undergraduate students enrolled. DeVry University-California has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 99%. The average net price after financial aid is $33,744 per year. The graduation rate is 22%, and the typical graduate earns $50,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are drawn here are often working adults or career-changers looking for a flexible, accessible path into tech or business fields — and with a 99% acceptance rate, getting in isn't the challenge. What concerns me as a counselor, though, is the bigger picture: only 22% of students graduate, and just over half of freshmen return for their second year, which tells me many students are struggling to finish what they start, whether due to finances, academic fit, or life circumstances. At $33,744 per year in net costs, the price isn't low, and while graduates who do finish report median earnings of $50,300 a decade out, that's a modest return for a significant investment. Before committing, I'd strongly encourage your family to ask hard questions about what support systems exist to help students actually cross the finish line — because the degree only pays off if you earn it. If flexibility and open admissions are priorities, also look at Western Governors University or a strong community college pathway, which may offer better outcomes at lower risk.
