DeVry University-Texas

DeVry University-Texas is the Irving location of DeVry University, whose roots go back to 1931, when inventor Herman A. DeVry opened the DeForest Training School in Chicago, named for his friend Lee de Forest, to train technicians to fix movie projectors and radios. The school became DeVry Technical Institute in 1953, was acquired by Bell & Howell in 1967, was renamed DeVry Institute of Technology a year later and won approval to award bachelor's degrees in electronics in 1969. In 1987 the Keller Graduate School of Management, founded by former DeVry teachers Dennis Keller and Ronald Taylor, bought DeVry from Bell & Howell in a leveraged buyout, and the combined schools later operated as DeVry University. In December 2016 DeVry settled a $100 million Federal Trade Commission lawsuit over job-placement and earnings claims in its advertising, and in 2018 parent company Adtalem handed the university to Cogswell Education. DeVry University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
