DeVry credit for Cisco certifications?

[smoo006]

Hi,

I am currently looking into attending DeVry to get a Network and Communications Management degree. I recently spoke with an admissions advisor and he told me that because I have a CCNA certification, that would credit me 4 of the required 15 or so networking curriculum classes. He couldn't tell me anything about any of the other certifications I have though. I have a CCNP, CCDP, CCVP and a few cisco specializations. Does anyone have experience on what DeVry's policy is for this? I don't want to challenge a dozen classes proving I know what VoIP is or what the OSI model is!!!

Devry University vs. ITT Tech

Some people had some comments about the school you posted

Did you choose DeVry for your degree? Did they credit your Cisco certifaction for some credit hours?
I am thinking to attend DeVry for Tech Management too and currently they are checking my AS degree earning from Masters Institute is transferable as well as my CCNA, MCSE, A+ etc. I am hoping they can do Max credit transfer from my previous school credit in order for me to consider.

Actually no. I have decided not to attend DeVry. Turns out that they will not give any more than the 4 courses for the CCNA. If you have any other Cisco certifications they will not give you credit or course exemptions. I have no experience with A+ or MCSE so I can't vouch for that. If you have an associates degree already, they seem to be pretty liberal with college credit.
