Devry is RA (NCACS), so the issue must be program accreditation. Some of their programs are ABET accredited, apparently some are not.
Seems like if that is important somebody ought to check it out first before jumping in. Although once again we see how useless RA really is when program accreditation is the key to acceptance. RA schools tout RA knowing full well it's irrelevant to professions where ABET accreditation or similar is required. How many kids right out of high school have the first clue?
Another example of how RA lack of transparency (i.e., either outright lying or failing to fully disclose the facts) results in more government sanctioned ripoffs. People who sold securities or similar investments with such lax disclosure would be doing time. When RA universities do it that's just the "gold standard" at work.
