Careers In Criminal Justice - DeVry University Announces Plans to Expand in South Florida
In 2002, DeVry opened its Miramar campus in South Florida, making it the first university to call Miramar home. DeVry opened its first South Florida center in Miami in 2000. The DeVry University Center in Broward County further demonstrates the institution's ongoing commitment to the South Florida region.
"Since 2002, DeVry University has been providing South Florida residents with access to higher education at its Miramar campus, and we welcome the University's expansion in Broward County," said James Tarlton, president/CEO of The Broward Alliance, the county's leading economic development organization. "The future of the region is dependent in large part on a workforce with business and technical skills, and both DeVry and the Alliance share a commitment to individual and economic growth."
"DeVry University prepares students to succeed in a global knowledge society in which technology and business are intertwined. We look forward to helping prepare the highly-skilled workforce that the South Florida area needs to meet the demands of tomorrow's economy," said Julio Torres, president of DeVry University/South Florida.
Students enrolling at DeVry University's new Center in Broward County will receive personalized instruction in classes with a low student-to-faculty ratio. Additionally, because DeVry offers online degree programs, qualified students will have the option to combine online coursework with classroom learning to best manage their professional and personal life while seeking to advance or start their career.
As one of the largest degree-granting higher education systems in North America, DeVry University provides high-quality, career-oriented associate, bachelor's and master's degree programs in technology, business and management. Approximately 49,000 students are enrolled at its 70 locations that are in 20 states and Canada, as well as through DeVry University Online. DeVry University is based in Oakbrook Terrace, Ill.
