Overview of DeVry Institute of Technology
DeVry's origins trace back to 1931, when Dr. Herman DeVry established DeForest Training School in Chicago to prepare students for technical work in electronics, motion pictures, radio and, in later years, television. The school's name was changed to DeVry Technical Institute in 1953, which then became DeVry Institute of Technology in 1968. Over time, the DeVry system expanded its curricula and degree offerings and also underwent expansion. In 1987, DeVry merged with Keller Graduate School of Management and in February 2002, became known as DeVry University in most places. Today, DeVry operates 23 campuses across the United States and Canada. 21 of them are known as DeVry University, but two of them (in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and New York) continue to operate under the name of DeVry Institute of Technology.
