Data was reported for all students who graduated between 7/1/2021 and 6/30/2022. In-field and out-of-field employment includes new employment obtained within a year after graduation. “New employment” is defined as employment obtained no earlier than 6 months prior to graduation. “Existing employment” is defined as employment that existed at the time of enrollment or was obtained more than 6 months prior to graduation.

1 “Number of graduates employed in field and out of field” was defined as new employment.
Note: DeVry University is required to report employment data to CAHIIM. DeVry University does not guarantee employment. Readers should not make assumptions about their own likelihood of employment based on this data. Attempts were made to obtain employment status information for all graduates. Collected data includes, but is not limited to, the intent to work in a field-related position and, for those who are so employed, the graduate’s start date, title, employer name, duties, hours worked per week and earnings. Information was gathered through a variety of means. Generally, information was gathered from forms graduates completed. Data may also have been collected through in-person, telephone or email interviews with graduates or from third-party sources. DeVry University neither verifies nor guarantees the accuracy of information gathered.

Courses taken on a pass/fail basis may not be transferred. Transfer credit reduces the number of courses students must take, and correspondingly reduces students’ costs. This credit does not affect grade point average calculations. Students pursuing graduate certificates may transfer a maximum of 50% of the graduate certificate’s credit hours to their certificate’s total credit hour requirements. Transfer credit is not granted for CPA exam preparation courses.
Students who receive transfer credit for a course are not automatically granted associated credit for prerequisite courses.
Students must complete a Request for Transfer Credit form and submit it to the admissions advisor (admissions representative in Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska and online), or student support advisor or academic advisor, with all required materials when applying to receive transfer credit. Students should check with their admissions representative/student support advisor/academic advisor for more detailed information.
Articulation agreements facilitate ease of transferring credits among institutions. DeVry University maintains articulation agreements with many colleges and universities, as well as with entities such as the military.
The University awards transfer credit, as appropriate, based on recommendations of the American Council on Education College Credit Recommendation Service, which evaluates workforce and military training programs to determine their comparability to college-level learning. To earn credit, students must earn the minimum ACE-recommended score or higher. Additional information on workforce and military training recommendations is available via the National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training and the ACE Military Guide Online, respectively.
Students using veterans benefits are required to submit official transcripts of all previous education and training to DeVry University. DeVry University maintains a written record of previous undergraduate and graduate education completed by veterans and all persons eligible for veterans benefits. A copy of official transcripts used to evaluate transfer credit is maintained in students’ permanent records. This record, required for either program admission or transfer-credit review, clearly indicates when appropriate transfer credit has been given. Credit for up to 15 semester-credit hours may be transferred into a DeVry University graduate program. Students attending a California location may receive transfer credit for up to 20% of the degree program’s credit hours. Veterans enrolled in a DeVry University course for which credit has already been earned at a University-recognized institution cannot include that course in the total hours reported to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It is students’ responsibility to be aware of prior credit eligible for transfer.
