DeVry Chicago opened in 1931 as the DeForest Training School, named after Lee DeForest, a colleague and friend of founder Herman A. DeVry. Since then the company has undergone a number of name changes. In 1966 a controlling share was acquired by the Education Group of Bell and Howell, which then sold that share to the Keller Graduate School of Management in 1987. DeVry acquired Becker Professional Review in 1996, Ross University in 2003, and the Deaconess College of Nursing in 2005. DeVry did not acquire rights to use the name "Deaconess College of Nursing", so it was renamed "Chamberlain" in 2006.
DeVry began operations in Canada in 1956.
DeVry Inc is a holding company for DeVry University, Ross University, Chamberlain College of Nursing, and Becker Professional Review. Becker Professional Review in turn holds a number of CPA training assets.
DeVry University offers courses in business administration, computer information systems, engineering, communication, bioinformatics , and management.
DeVry also offers professional graduate certificates in business, office management and health information technology.
The university operates on a trimester course schedule and, if taken full-time year round, a student can graduate with a Bachelor's degree in about three years (depending on the program). Most degree programs are offered at both the Associate's and four-year Bachelor's level. In addition, the institution offers various certificate programs such as for specific subfields in Information technology.
