About This School
DeVry University-Illinois is a private for-profit institution located in Lisle, Illinois with approximately 27,825 undergraduate students enrolled. DeVry University-Illinois has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 98%. The average net price after financial aid is $30,770 per year. The graduation rate is 37%, and the typical graduate earns $50,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 37% graduation rate means most students who start don't finish, and a 65% freshman retention rate suggests many leave after just one year. On the plus side, median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $12,805, and graduates who do complete their programs earn a median of $50,300 a decade out. Worth considering only if you have a very clear, career-focused plan and strong personal discipline — students who drift or need a lot of institutional support tend not to make it to the finish line here.
