Graduation rates for all new full-time students, including transfers, for fall cohorts were: 2010 67%, 2011 43%, 2012 100%, 2013 25% and 2014 86%.

The outcomes below were reported to CAHIIM in February 2022. CAHIIM required only summary data for graduates. A placement rate was not reported. Data was reported for all students who graduated between 7/1/2020 and 6/30/2021. 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.

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. The 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.
