ANAHEIM, Calif., October 07, 2009
DeVry University, one of North America's largest degree-granting, higher education institutions for business, technology and management education, has announced the opening of its newest California location in Anaheim at 1900 S. State College Blvd. Classes at DeVry University’s Anaheim location are expected to begin in January. The new location is DeVry University’s second in Orange County, having opened an Irvine location in 2001.
At the new Anaheim location, DeVry University will offer the school’s undergraduate degree programs through its colleges of Business & Management, Engineering & Information Sciences, Health Sciences and Media Arts & Technology. DeVry University offers degree programs year-round, allowing students to earn a bachelor's degree in three years or less and an associate degree in two years or less. DeVry University’s Keller Graduate School of Management will also offer a number of master degree programs in business and technology in Anaheim.
“Here, in the City of Anaheim, we view new and proven business ventures as beneficial to the community at large, and we welcome DeVry University, its staff, faculty and student body to our City as the university’s doors open in November,” said Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle.
DeVry University also announced the appointment of Maria Acosta as Anaheim center dean. Acosta joins DeVry University from Chapman University College, where she served as the Victor Valley campus director for the Orange County-based school. She has also held management and counseling positions with Ohlone College and California State University, Hayward. Acosta is currently a doctoral candidate in educational leadership. She earned an M.A. in educational leadership from Mills College, an M.S. in public administration & counseling from CSU Hayward and a B.A. in social welfare from University of California, Berkeley.
“Being familiar with the educational landscape in Orange County, I am excited to have the opportunity to be a part of a university that puts such a focus on career development,” said Acosta. “One of the best ways to increase job security is to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a field that supports long term demand.”
Since 1975, DeVry has graduated 237,957 students at the undergraduate level. Of graduates in the active job market, 90.3 percent were employed in career-related positions within six months of graduation.
