Is Devry Institute a College

Here in Arizona the DeVry in Phoenix is an accredited university. My fiance is going there, he has one year until he gets his bachelor’s in computer science. They have a new degree in game programming that looks very impressive… DeVry is pretty respected around here, or so I’ve seen. Although their policies seem pretty draconian.

What other posters have said about DeVry being expensive surprises me. The main reason my fiance chose DeVry over, say, ASU (which I’m attending) was because it is much, much, much cheaper. They also have some really good scholarships.

This is surprising to me. I looked into the cost of various schools and their reputation before making my decision. ASU for residents is around $2,500 per semester. Devry on the other hand is around $6,000 per semester. Both schools claim it will take around 8 semesters to earn a degree.

Also, does Devry offer a Computer Science degree? I have found that many schools consider Computer Science and Computer Information System style degrees to have different curriculum and focus.
