Interested Students vs. Those Who Apply

The total average rate of acceptance at DeVry University is 80.77%, the enrollment rate is 87.99%, and the graduation rate is 27.29%. An average of 60% of students are enrolled in online courses but very few complete their courses compared to their on-campus counterparts. Find the research findings inthis spreadsheet.

 

Interested Students vs. Those Who Apply

  • We could not find data on the students that are interested in applying to DeVry University.
  • We, however, found out that in 2017, the number of applications declined. Some universities that recorded a decline include Virginia with a 50% annual decline, Florida at 6% , and New Jersey at 75.5%.

Health vs Non-Healthcare Students

  • We could not find categorical data on application and enrollment of healthcare and non-healthcare students. There was, however, data available on the number of healthcare and non-healthcare graduates.
  • Health graduates make up 7.76% of total graduates. Other courses taking up the remaining 92.24%.

On-Campus vs Online Students

  • There was no categorical data on the figures of healthcare and non-healthcare students that have enrolled for online or on-campus courses.
  • We, however, found that around 60% or two-thirds of total students are enrolled in online courses. However, the graduation rate for online course applicants is low as many drop out of college. Online students also perform more poorly compared to their on-campus counterparts.

Research strategy

To obtain data on the student life cycle, we first identified that DeVry University has locations in 18 cities.

 

We then chose a sample of 7 cities namely Illinois, Georgia, California, Texas, Ohio, Florida, and New York. We used the data to calculate average rates of the student life cycle. In our calculations, we considered data for all the students in general regardless of whether they were pursuing masters, graduate, or undergraduate degrees.

 

Despite searching through the DeVry University’s website, websites that provide college information such as College Simply, Statistics sites, and general media sites; we could not find categorical data on the life cycle of students pursuing courses in healthcare, non-healthcare, online, and on-campus. The information available was for overall figures which we have presented in this research.

 

Some figures given in this research were not explicitly given in the sources. We made several calculations to which you can find here.

 

  Remember! This is just a sample.
