DeVry University-Texas

What is the history of DeVry University-Texas?

DeVry University-Texas is the Irving, Texas, reporting location of DeVry University, a private, career-focused institution whose origins are in technical education. The university traces its history to the DeForest Training School, founded in Chicago in 1931 by Herman A. DeVry.

The institution later operated as DeVry Technical Institute and DeVry Institute of Technology before adopting the DeVry University name. Its offerings expanded beyond electronics and technology to include business, health-related fields and graduate study. That university-wide history should not be mistaken for the founding date of the Irving location: prospective students should evaluate which programs and services are currently available to them in Texas, rather than assume that everything offered across DeVry's history is offered locally.

What are the faculties and departments at DeVry University-Texas?

DeVry organizes its academics around career-oriented fields rather than a traditional liberal-arts college structure. University-wide areas of study include business and management, engineering and information sciences, and health-related programs; Keller Graduate School of Management is part of DeVry's graduate offerings.

Representative subjects include accounting, business administration, computer information systems, cybersecurity, engineering technology and healthcare administration. Depending on the program, DeVry offers undergraduate certificates, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees and graduate credentials. A program's presence in the university catalog does not establish that every course or credential can be completed in person in Irving. Applicants should check the current catalog for their intended credential, required courses and delivery format, including any courses taught online.

What is the location of DeVry University-Texas?

DeVry University-Texas is associated with Irving, in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. For students considering in-person study, this is a suburban metropolitan setting rather than a residential college campus.

Irving's regional road network and proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport may be useful to commuters and students traveling for work. Actual convenience depends on where a student lives, class schedules and the availability of in-person courses. Before planning a commute, confirm the current teaching location and whether the specific program requires visits to the Irving site.

What is the mission and vision of DeVry University-Texas?

Prospective students can test how the stated approach works in practice by examining their program's curriculum, course schedule, hands-on requirements and available academic support. DeVry is not presented as a religiously affiliated institution.
