Would you take someone with a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology from DeVry seriously? I’m looking to make a career change and am thinking about going back to school. For engineering schools the most feasible option, in light of geography, family, work, and financial situation, would be DeVry. I come from a family of graduates of 4 year liberal arts schools and I’m not sure if I’m being snobby or if this is a real concern. But I don’t want to spend $50k+ for another degree in order to get a job repairing vacuum cleaners (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
I’d love to hear what isn’t in DeVry’s admissions literature. I know that they’re accredited, but they’re also a for-profit school. What do those of you in technical fields think of them? Positive/negative experiences with the school or its graduates? Are you a DeVry grad who can provide some insight about your own experiences? This isn’t a decision I’ll be making tomorrow and it would help to get some feedback from people who don’t have an interest in the situation.
