DeVry College of New York has an open admissions policy, with a 100% acceptance rate across all sources. Unlike selective institutions, DeVry does not screen applicants based on GPA or test scores—making it accessible but non-competitive. Enrollment numbers are modest: Peterson’s reports 86 enrolled students from an applicant pool where all were accepted. The college does not appear in Common Data Set (CDS)A standardized report most colleges publish each year with admissions, test-score, and financial-aid figures, making schools easier to compare.s from peer institutions, suggesting its for-profit model operates outside traditional benchmarking frameworks.
DeVry’s academic offerings are career-oriented, with hybrid (online/in-person) formats dominating. The college touts a #2 national ranking for Best Information Technology Colleges (per Niche) and emphasizes skills for fields like tech and business. Programs are structured for working adults, with flexible scheduling. However, the curriculum lacks the breadth of liberal arts colleges—Research.com notes a 'focused selection' of faculties, suggesting limited diversity in disciplines.

With 175 undergraduate students (per College Board), DeVry’s Midtown campus is tiny and commuter-heavy. Urban setting provides access to NYC amenities, but campus culture is minimal:
Outcomes data is mixed and contentious:
Tuition is $44,416 annually (College Raptor), but Net priceWhat a family actually pays after grants and scholarships are subtracted from the sticker price — usually far less than the published cost. drops to $34,530 after aid. All students receive grants, though average aid packages ($4,915) cover a small fraction of costs.
DeVry’s open access and IT focus are its defining traits, but its for-profit model and outcomes controversies loom large. It serves non-traditional students seeking flexible career training, yet struggles with graduation rates and transparency. The Midtown location offers urban convenience, but the lack of campus life makes it a pragmatic choice—not a transformative college experience.
