DeVry University-Illinois

What is the cost of studying for a year at DeVry University-Illinois?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, published full-time undergraduate tuition was $16,448, with $560 in required fees. The reported figures were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $514 per credit, but a student's actual bill depends on enrollment and applicable charges.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and reported required fees: $17,008 for the reporting year.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $700.
• Reported room-and-board budget: $16,716; this is not a DeVry residence-hall charge.

Transportation, personal expenses, and individual course needs can add to a student's annual cost. Because DeVry does not offer institution-operated undergraduate housing, the living-expense figure should be understood as a budgeting estimate rather than a campus housing price. Tuition and fees are the published charges; net price estimates what students pay after grant and scholarship aid, while loans still have to be repaid. For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $30,933. That is an average across a defined group, not a personalized aid offer.

Eligible students may explore federal grants and loans, applicable state aid, institutional scholarships, and military or veterans education benefits. Reported aid participation was 98%, while 81% received student loans; receiving aid therefore does not necessarily mean costs were covered by grants. Applicants should complete the FAFSA where eligible and compare a current, individualized aid offer with the full cost of attendance before borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at DeVry University-Illinois?

Students considering part-time work should distinguish a regular job, a paid internship, and Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is a federal aid program for eligible students with financial need; a student must receive an award and obtain a qualifying position to earn those funds. An award is not an automatic paycheck or an upfront tuition discount.

DeVry reports career services that include individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment opportunities for undergraduates. These services may help with a broader job search, but they do not establish that a particular Lisle-based campus job is available. Students seeking Work-Study should check their financial aid offer and ask the financial aid office how eligible positions are posted and paid. Those seeking an internship should separately confirm whether their program awards academic credit and what approval is required.
