“A career-focused private university with a 90-plus-year track record of placing students into business and technology jobs.”
DeVry University-Georgia is the Georgia subsidiary of DeVry University, a national private for-profit institution founded in 1931 by Herman A. DeVry and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. The Georgia operation is anchored at the Decatur campus on Decatur Town Square, seven miles east of downtown Atlanta, with additional locations historically operating in Alpharetta, Buckhead, Cobb/Galleria, Duluth, Perimeter, and Stockbridge. As DeVry has consolidated its physical footprint over the last decade, most enrollment now flows through online programs delivered through these Georgia entities, with on-campus class options available for students who prefer in-person learning. DeVry's academic identity is built around career-aligned programs in technology, business, healthcare administration, and accounting. The institution is structured around four colleges - the College of Engineering & Information Sciences, the College of Business & Management, the College of Health Sciences, and the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences - with the Keller Graduate School of Management housing all master's-level programs. Popular majors include information technology, computer information systems, network administration, accounting, business administration, and project management, and more than 40 DeVry programs hold programmatic accreditation or industry recognition aligning curriculum with credentials like CompTIA, Cisco, and PMI. For international students, DeVry's Georgia entity is one of the locations authorized by SEVP to issue F-1 I-20s, and an international admissions team based out of the Keller Graduate School of Management handles intake, financial documentation, and SEVIS enrollment. Tuition is charged per credit hour rather than annually - roughly $514/credit at the undergraduate level and $776/credit for graduate programs - and admissions are open and rolling: applicants supply a high school transcript or college transcripts, no application fee is charged, and SAT/ACT scores are not required (though they can be considered). DeVry does not offer traditional residential housing, NCAA athletics, or a brick-and-mortar campus social life - the experience is squarely oriented toward working adult learners seeking practical, accelerated paths to professional careers.
