| - Let us be honest about what DeVry is and is not. DeVry is a fine school if you want to fiddle with some electronics, electronic test equipment, and want a "degree" to attach to your resume. DeVry is not a school that is going to get you some awesome job that allows you to greatly succeed in life.
Let me explain. Out of everyone that graduated with me most people went into the semiconductor field as maintenance technicians of some sort. We use little to no skills obtained at DeVry and the kicker is that you don't even need a degree to be a maintenance technician at a semiconductor plant. This is exemplified by everyone you work with having no college degree... or a degree from DeVry.
So if that is the case, then why in the world would you go to DeVry and rack up a $50k tuition bill?
To make matters worse, DeVry touts themselves as a legitimate university with legitimate degrees. In the real world many businesses don't consider degrees from DeVry (at least the BSEET degree I have) to be a legitimate engineering degree. Furthermore, graduate programs don't consider it a legitimate degree either. For one to carry on to a MSEE at ASU, one will have to step back and take remedial classes to prove that you are at a caliber even worthy of entering a legitimate college program at a legitimate college. Sure, DeVry is accredited, but accreditation is entirely different than legitimacy.
This is my suggestion... if you have any inkling that you might want to continue your education, go to ASU and see if they will directly accept the DeVry degree without making you take remedial classes. If they don't then DeVry might be a valid choice. Otherwise, save yourself the trouble and just go to a school like ASU.
I wish that I had transferred to ASU in my junior year after I found out that the business community didn't view my degree as legitimate as other schools.
EDIT: I used ASU's transfer credit guide (https://webapp4.asu.edu/transfercreditguide/app/home?init=false&nopassive=true) and looked up what transferred from DeVry and here are the results by semester.
SEMESTER 1 (4 of 6 transfer):
*COLL 147
*COMP 125
*MATH 150
*PSYC 110
SEMESTER 2 (3 of 7 transfer):
*ENGL 110
*ENGL 110L
*MATH 155
SEMESTER 3 (3 of 5 transfer):
*COMP 215
*ENGL 135
*MATH 215
SEMESTER 4 (1 of 6 transfer):
*SOCS 185
SEMESTER 5 (1 of 6 transfer):
*ENGL 227
SEMESTER 6 (3 of 7 transfer):
*PHYS 210
*PHYS 210L
*SPCH 275
SEMESTER 7 (2 of 6 transfer):
*PHYS 225
*PHYS 225L
SEMESTER 8 (2 of 7 transfer):
*CARD 405
*HUMN 410
SEMESTER 9 (2 of 6 transfer):
*ECON 312
*HUMN 432
Grand total of credits that transfer: 21/56 (37.5%)
Please notice that NONE of your CORE CLASSES transfer. The only things that transfer are your freshman math classes, physics, economics, English/writing, public speaking, and electives.
