AI Thread Summary
DeVry University offers bachelor's degrees in Business and Electronics in three years and is accredited by ABET and other boards. However, many participants in the discussion express skepticism about its reputation, citing a lack of recognition among employers and concerns about the quality of education compared to traditional colleges. Some argue that attending a community college or a four-year university is a more economical choice that offers better educational options. There are also concerns about the transferability of credits and the potential career limitations for DeVry graduates. Overall, the consensus leans towards recommending more established educational institutions for better career prospects.

Devry is an institute that gives bachelors in Business and Electronics in no more than 3 years. It's acredited by ABET and other boards. WHat do you guys think of it? Is it a good and reputable school?

Have you looked into the price?
I went to ITT Technical INstitute and found it to be a waste of money. Also, the courses are not transferable. I think going to a tradiational Community College or 4 year university would be more economic and give you educational options if you decide to change majors.
What are your career aspirations? Do you want to be an engineer or just want a degree?
 
You can get a Bachelor's in EE in four years from a reputable University. If you go to a state school, it'll largely be free.

I'm a circuit designer for a Nasdaq 100 corporation, and, honestly, I have never met a single person in my entire career who has a degree from DeVry. It might qualify you for a technician or operator position, and you might well be able to advance to better positions later, but -- honestly -- I don't think DeVry is going to qualify you for a very enviable career.

Based on your previous posts, you seem rather hell-bent on trying to become rich and important without putting any actual effort into improving yourself. I'll say it again: go to (a real) school, work hard, and you'll (probably) be successful. There are few shortcuts.

Devry is no ITT Technical Institute.
 
Line,

Even if it isn't, everyone thinks it is. There are no shortcuts.

I know several engineering employers (friends of my dad) and they generally do not like Devry grads. Have you ever known someone who would never think for themselves, and when faced with a new problem, they didn't think about it for one second, but just asked for help? Stereotypically, those are Devry grads.

Also, some Devry guys come into my classes sometimes to talk about Devry and tell a bunch of absolute BS.

Lol, like they said "It's regionally accredited... that's what Harvard is!"

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
