DeVry University-Illinois

What are the graduation rates for students at DeVry University-Illinois?

Reported graduation outcomes warrant close attention. IPEDS figures for DeVry University-Illinois include an overall graduation rate of 37%, a four-year rate of 12%, and a six-year rate of 18%. These measures should not be treated as interchangeable: completion measures can follow different entering cohorts and use different time frames.

The reported student-retention rate is 65%, indicating that the measured share continued from one reporting period to the next. Standard federal graduation-rate cohorts often focus on first-time, full-time entrants, so they may describe adult, transfer, and part-time students poorly. That limitation is especially relevant when evaluating DeVry's broader student population. Applicants can ask for completion and retention results for their specific credential, attendance pattern, and entry route, as well as the typical time students take to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at DeVry University-Illinois?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings about one year after completion for covered former students who received federal aid. They are historical, program-level outcomes - not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate. Reported figures include $60,951 for electrical and electronic engineering technologies, $50,307 for computer systems networking and telecommunications, and $47,138 for business administration, management, and operations.

Other reported figures are $36,653 for health and medical administrative services and $29,529 for computer software and media applications. These results should be compared only after checking the credential level and program definition: a field-of-study category can encompass credentials that lead to different roles. Earnings also omit important context, including local labor markets, prior work experience, further education, and how much a student borrowed. University-wide or field-level data should not be interpreted as a Lisle-specific salary forecast.
