Accredited Institution
DeVry University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North
Central Association of Colleges and Schools (ncahlc.org). DeVry University’s Keller
Graduate School of Management is included in this grant of accreditation. The
Higher Learning Commission is one of eight regional institutional accrediting bod-
ies in the U.S., is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and grants
“institutional” accreditation, meaning that the entire operation of the institution
is evaluated.
The accreditation of an institution or program of study is considered a significant
indication of quality postsecondary education. To achieve accredited status, an in-
stitution must demonstrate a high level of performance, integrity and quality that
conforms to the standards set by its accrediting agency. As a result, accreditation
becomes a factor in decisions made by a variety of entities including employers,
other colleagues and universities, and students seeking higher education.
