DeVry University Student Loan Relief

In 2016, the Federal Trade Commission secured a $100 million settlement against DeVry University for deceiving students with exaggerated job placement claims. The Department of Education has also taken action, making DeVry students strong candidates for Borrower Defense to Repayment.

FTC Settlement

DeVry paid $100M to settle FTC charges that it misled students about job placement rates — claiming 90% of graduates found jobs in their field within 6 months when the actual figure was significantly lower.

False Earnings Claims

DeVry falsely advertised that graduates earned 15% more one year after graduation compared to graduates of other colleges, a claim the FTC found was not substantiated.

DOE Findings

The Department of Education found DeVry made misleading representations about job placement rates and ordered the school to stop making unsubstantiated claims about employment outcomes.
