That's cool. Maybe the things you were doing were more distracting to him than you felt it was. Maybe you could have pulled an A (4.0) instead of a B (3.0) if you just did whatever he told you while in his class .

Good job by the way and keep it up!!

I wanted to set the record straight on DeVry University and the transferability of credits to a traditional university. I have an engineering degree from DeVry and was fully accepted to California State University Fullerton's MS in Software Engineering with NO prerequisites! I can’t speak for ITT but DeVry credits are recognized by Cal State schools.

If you want a real degree; that is to say, one that will be recognized by *all* of the other traditional schools and corporate entities, then you need to stay away from places like DeVry and especially ITT Tech. I'm not implying that they are incapable of teaching. I'm not implying that their students do not learn things that are extremely important and useful. Those points are not at all at issue. For example, take ITT Tech. Look very very closely at the papers that you sign when you enroll. Your credits will have "limited transferability". This means that, should you wish to get a degree from a traditional (real) school, you will have to start over......very nearly from scratch. I have had applicant after applicant come to me, all brighteyed and excited by the fact that they were sporting some newly conferred "degree" from a place like ITT. I feel so sorry for them. Sorry that they were taken advantage of by such so-called "schools". Do yourself a favor. Stay away from them. At the very least, do extensive research on their "graduates". See where they have gone and what they have done; not just a select one or two here and there, but all of them.

Go to a University. As an EE I can tell you I suspect some people simply purchase their degrees from Devry and ITT.

I wasn't the only one who had issues w/this teacher. I hadn't seen him around since beginning of quarter so I asked staff what happened to em, they said they moved em down to intro to pc course cause he didn't know wtf he was talking about in the more advanced courses. I know a few students who dropped from his classes as soon as they found out he was teaching. Some guy said in one of the linux classes he instructed everyone to do something, I forget what it was exactly, but it botched the shit out of there drives, and everyone had to reformat there drives and redo everything from the beginning of the quarter, while in middle of the quarter.

I would recommend Devry University to anybody. As a graduate from this school, I am very satisfied. I have attended other brick and mortar schools but often times they take too long and it takes forever for you to graduate. Devry is concentrated and they will put you on suspension faster than your head could spin if you fall bellow the required level. There are plenty of academic help available and they are attentive to your learning needs. I have found that this was the key to my success as an IT student. One more interesting fact is that, 90% of their students lands great jobs within 6 months of graduation. My first job while attending Devry was $75K. My second job after graduation was $80K.

What were your responsibilities and your title for both your first and second job? Did you have any prior experience? What degree did you get from DeVry? What company hired you while you were studying in college learning "IT" and paid you 75K? What about the second? What area do you live in? Welcome to TechIMO by the way and I hope you can shed some light to help others and not just posting once trying to spam and promote DeVry...

That's what it looks like, how many spam posts like that are in here now? They could prolly use some cleaning out by now.

I am currently enrolled in ITT-Tech Criminal Justice online division Associates program and I would like to know what is the best way to leave this school ASAP? I just began in September, still in the first quarter, beginning the 8th week. What can I do, I want to transfer to another school. I am on financial aid. Please help me!

[DeathWish187]

Might as well stop going altogether by now, or just wait the rest of the quarter out while you look elsewhere.
