<p>I am wondering if grad schools like, and I know it’s a long shot, but grad schools of engineering like MIT, carnegie mellon, and Stanford would look at an undergraduate student who has earned a Bachelor’s degree from Devry university in electrical engineering as a prospective grad student? I am a sophomore with a 4.0 gpa currently. Thanks.</p>
<p>It doesn’t look good, but then again a 4.0 GPA can you get you into some very good schools, no matter where it’s from. </p>
<p>If you’re still in sophomore year I suggest you transfer out to a ranked University. I suspect it’ll be very easy for you with your perfect GPA.</p>
<p>Try Hofstra University or better yet a CUNY/SUNY college.</p>
<p>Apply to as many as you can.</p>
<p>It looks like you’re in the wrong program if you’re interested in Electrical Engineering. I’d doubt they’d take you seriously as a candidate for graduate studies at nearly any reputable engineering school. I strongly recommend that you talk to an admissions counselor at an engineering school about transferring. Be prepared to talk about why you chose an online program, and what your experience has been.</p>
<p>I just did a quick search and found this site: [College</a> of Engineering & Information Sciences | DeVry University](<a href=“http://www.devry.edu/degree-programs/college-engineering-information-sciences/college-engineering-information-sciences.jsp]College”>Online Technology Degrees & Certificate Programs | DeVry University)</p>
<p>According to that site, DeVry offers a masters degree in Electrical Engineering, but not a bachelors degree. The closest bachelors degree is “Electronics Engineering Technology.”</p>
<p>According to the graduate academic catalog, to be admitted to the masters degree program in Electrical Engineering (<a href=“http://www.devry.edu/assets/pdf/uscatalog/DVU_Grad_Catalog.pdf[/url]”>http://www.devry.edu/assets/pdf/uscatalog/DVU_Grad_Catalog.pdf</a> Page 28), one way to qualify is: “… a bachelor’s degree in DeVry’s … EET … program and have successfully completed their Individual Bridge Plan …”</p>
<p>In other words, DeVry won’t accept you into its own MSEE program unless you complete several extra courses, which it then says you must do so as unmatriculated, and that you will not receive any kind of financial aid or assistance during that time.</p>
<p>Finally, according to [Engineering</a> Salary Calculator - Electrical Engineering Outlook](<a href=“http://www.engineersalary.com/Electrical.asp]Engineering”>http://www.engineersalary.com/Electrical.asp) “The lowest 10% [of Electrical Engineers] earned less than $48,300,” and “Salaries in 2009 for new grads: B.S.E.E. received starting offers averaging $60,340.” </p>
<p>That is, DeVry graduates of the EET program earn the equivalent of the bottom 10% of Electrical Engineers.</p>
<p>So what are you saying? I don’t understand what your trying to say, it’s like you are just giving me stats is all, and why am I in the wrong program?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>According to the DeVry site, there is no B.S. in Electrical Engineering program. Instead, there’s an Electronics Engineering Technology major. These programs are not the same, and MIT, et al., do not have a graduate program to continue from the Electronics Engineering Technology.</p></li>
<li><p>To be admitted to DeVry’s own M.S. in Electrical Engineering program, you will have to complete many extra “bridge” courses. DeVry doesn’t give a real indication of how many, but you’ll be paying for these out-of-pocket, with no state, federal, or DeVry aid.</p></li>
<li><p>If you need to do a lot of “catch up” to get into DeVry’s own MSEE program, getting into an MSEE elsewhere program is likely going to be a lot harder.</p></li>
<li><p>The average salary of a DeVry graduate in Electronics Engineering Technology is equal to the lowest tenth of Electrical Engineers, and $15,000 less than the average starting salary of an Electrical Engineering graduate.</p></li>
<li><p>If you transfer to a traditional Electrical Engineering program (and graduate), you stand a better chance at a much higher salary and graduate school admissions, particularly with the advantage of avoiding have to make up undergraduate courses you need for grad work out of pocket.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Oh yeah I meant electronics engineering tech. sorry yeah it doesnt have electrical engineering which sucks. I am thinking about transferring already, in my junior year.</p>
<p>You really should transfer.</p>
<p>I most likely will.</p>
<p>I have a 3 year bachelor degree from India and a 1 year Post graduate diploma …</p>
<p>I tried WES and Educational perspectives evaluations. WES rated it as 3 and half years undergraduate study whereas Educational perspectives rated it as 4 years of undergraduate study but not equivalent to a US bachelors. </p>
<p>The only option for me to pursue a masters is to transfer into a bachelor program and then get into a good master’s program. Recently, Devry (Keller Graduate School) said I am eligible to get into their masters program($50,000). But I was thinking of transferring into their(Devry) bachelors program and get a bachelors and get into a good state university. Devry is saying I will need 1year and 2months-4months to get their bachelors. It is a bit expensive ($30,000) but I would transfer some credits from a community college to lower it. But this is the quickest way to get a bachelors. </p>
<p>Do you think a masters from Keller(Devry) is worth $50,000 or I should just get their bachelors and get a masters from a good state university?</p>

<p>DeVry is not a real school. Any state school will serve you better.</p>
<p>You need to contact the grad schools directly. Some will use different ways to evaluate your foreign records and may admit you directly to the M.S. Others will admit you in provisional status, and will require you to take extra undergrad coursework on their own campus.</p>
<p>Better online options include [UMUC</a> - Homepage](<a href=“http://www.UMUC.edu%5DUMUC”>http://www.UMUC.edu) and Penn State University World Campus.</p>
<p>I’ve heard a few horror stories about Devry, I’m not sure about their basis/ truth but there’s enough of them for a good enough reason to try for a transfer right? I’d recommend you see if you can enter a state university.</p>
<p>Devry’s credits have limited transferability.</p>
<p>I don’t think the Devry credits will transfer</p>
