DeVry University-New Jersey

What is the accreditation of DeVry University-New Jersey?

DeVry University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accreditor. Because the Iselin location is part of DeVry University, applicants should assess it within the university's institutional accreditation rather than assume it holds a separate institutional accreditation.

Institutional accreditation is relevant to eligibility for federal student aid and provides an external review of the university. It does not guarantee that another college will accept DeVry credits or that a graduate will qualify for a professional license. Some careers also require a particular form of programmatic accreditation, which evaluates an individual program rather than the university as a whole. Students considering a regulated profession should verify the accreditation and licensing requirements for their specific program and state before enrolling.

What are the admission requirements at DeVry University-New Jersey?

First-time degree applicants generally need to complete DeVry's application and document high school graduation or an accepted equivalent, such as a GED. Admissions information reported for the New Jersey location identifies a secondary-school record and GPA as required application information.

SAT and ACT scores are considered but are not required. Class rank, recommendations and completion of a college-preparatory curriculum are not listed as requirements. English-proficiency evidence may be considered for applicants whose circumstances call for it; the appropriate documentation can depend on the applicant and program. Applicants should obtain the current requirements for their intended credential, particularly if they were educated outside the United States or are applying to graduate study.

A reported 100% first-time admission rate is not a useful indication of automatic admission: the figure reflects just one applicant and one admission in the reported year, and DeVry does not report an open-admission policy for this location. The university's start dates and application timing may vary by program, so applicants should confirm the deadline for the term and course format they want.

What are the application fees and waivers at DeVry University-New Jersey?

The reported application fee for DeVry University-New Jersey is $30. That is an application charge, not tuition, an enrollment deposit or a guarantee of admission.

The figure comes from the 2024-25 institutional reporting period and should not be treated as a confirmed fee for every current application route. Before submitting payment, applicants should check the charge displayed for their particular undergraduate or graduate application. Anyone seeking a fee waiver should ask admissions whether one applies to their circumstances and whether approval must be obtained before submitting the application; waiver eligibility should not be assumed.

What types of ROTC programs are available at DeVry University-New Jersey?

Prospective students should not assume that DeVry University-New Jersey operates an Army, Air Force or Navy ROTC unit at its Iselin location. An ROTC program at another college is not automatically available to DeVry students.

Someone interested in a commission should ask both the relevant ROTC host institution and DeVry whether cross-enrollment is permitted and how required military-science courses would fit the degree. ROTC scholarships have separate selection rules, and participation can involve a postgraduation service obligation; neither should be presumed available through enrollment at DeVry.

What are the requirements for transfer students at DeVry University-New Jersey?

DeVry University-New Jersey accepts transfer applicants and generally considers credit earned at other accredited institutions. Transfer students are reported as able to enter in fall, winter, spring or summer, although the start date for a particular program still requires confirmation.

Applicants should be prepared to provide official transcripts from every college attended and any other records required for their applicant category. DeVry also reports accepting some credit through AP, CLEP, DSST/DANTES, ACE-recommended learning and qualifying life experience. Admission and transfer-credit acceptance are separate decisions: a course may transfer as elective credit without satisfying a specific major requirement.

Before committing, request a written, program-specific evaluation showing which credits count toward general education, major and elective requirements. Compare it with the degree plan and ask about any minimum credits that must be completed at DeVry. This is especially important for students whose previous study is in a technical field where course content changes quickly.

What types of study abroad programs are available at DeVry University-New Jersey?

Applicants should not assume that a DeVry University-New Jersey degree includes a university-operated semester abroad or an exchange program. International travel and study-abroad credit require more planning than simply registering for an outside course.

A student considering an independent or third-party program should seek written academic approval before departure. The program director or transfer-credit office can determine whether the courses would satisfy degree requirements, while the financial aid office can explain whether aid could apply. Costs, visa rules and the academic calendar may differ substantially from a regular DeVry term.
