DeVry was founded in 1931 by inventor and educator Dr. Herman DeVry. In the 90 years since its founding, DeVry has become known for quality, technology, and career-oriented education. The University was accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) as a single entity on February 1, 2002, the result of a merger of DeVry Institutes, first accredited in 1981, and Keller Graduate School of Management, first accredited in 1977.
