Program Analysis
While the career paths listed for this field are lucrative, the outcomes for DeVry graduates reflect a different reality. As a national for-profit institution, DeVry's open-admissions model serves a broad student base, but it lacks the strong, regional recruiting pipelines that connect graduates from schools like UCF or UF to Orlando's top tech and defense employers. The curriculum may focus more on foundational, task-oriented skills which, while practical, don't always lead to the high-paying software architect or research scientist roles right after graduation. Instead, you might find yourself in entry-level IT support, web maintenance, or quality assurance positions. To beat these odds, your key action is to aggressively build a portfolio of complex, independent projects and network relentlessly outside the university's formal career services to prove your skills to skeptical hiring managers.
