DeVry Study Offers Compelling Evidence for Value of Degree

Posted by Mark Ebner on October 07, 2011

Higher education's economic impact received another strong endorsement thanks to a study commissioned by DeVry Inc. The study illustrated that earnings increased 65 percent for individuals who earned their Bachelor's degree from one of DeVry's three schools. That is a dramatic increase over the control group's 18 percent increase. The study also reported their graduates were more likely to enjoy greater job security and have better benefits than those without a degree. DeVry was a key funder of CEOs for Cities Talent Dividend Tour, which included stops in 30 cities to espouse the economic value of increasing college attainment by just one percentage point in U.S. cities.
