    DeVry is an interesting case as well.

    Back when they were DeVry Institute (and before they went DL) they pumped out quite a few techs and even some engineers. You still see some of them in industry. They were hardly MIT but they had a niche market in technology. Accredited schools like DeVry are certainly not "mills" but so many of them have become "MBA Factories" that they are all indistinguishable from one another. GCU and Keiser managed to set themselves apart with some more diverse offerings but the formula is becoming a bit too predictable; business degrees, IT degrees and CJ degrees. I'm sure that there is plenty of market research showing that there is sufficient demand for these career paths but it does make the pool appear more homogeneous than it really is.

    Going back more than ten years I used to be involved in recruiting for my company. While we recruited at many big state universities, we also heavily recruited at DeVry. The DeVry grads generally held up well against the big state graduates. I agree that they are not MIT, but they certainly provided useful degrees that my company found use for.

    We also recruited at ITT back then but now I don't think we do.
