Average net price

The average net price at DeVry University-Illinois is $31,063 for one year. Net price is the total cost minus grant and scholarship aid, averaged across full time, first time students who were awarded grant or scholarship aid, for the 2022 to 2023 academic year. It is an average, not a quote. A particular student can pay far less or close to the full published total, depending on family income and the aid the school offers.

That average net price is $13,059 above the average of $18,004 across the pilot schools on this site that publish a net price.

Cost weighed against outcomes

Median earnings ten years after entry are $45,987 a year. That figure covers students who received federal aid, who were working and not enrolled in further study at the ten year mark.

Median debt at graduation is $24,807. That is the median federal loan debt of students who completed a program at this school.

Put together, one year of median earnings at the ten year mark is about 1.9 times the median debt at graduation. That framing is rough. Earnings grow over a career, debt is usually repaid over many years, and both figures are medians across large groups, not a result any one student is promised.

The graduation rate is 37%. It measures the share of a starting cohort that finished within one and a half times the normal program length.
