DeVry University-California tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $17,408
Finding DeVry University-California charges 5% above the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $17,408. That is 5% above the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the California median ($8,093), sticker tuition is about 2.2×. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 46% above.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
Interpretation Published tuition measures sticker price relative to private for-profit and geographic peers; it does not equal what undergraduates typically pay after aid.
Limitation Sticker comparisons omit room, board, and institutional aid; average net price and income-band net prices are the stronger signals of typical family cost.
Evidence: published tuition at DeVry University-California versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at DeVry University-California versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at DeVry University-California is $33,744.
Evidence College Scorecard average net price is $33,744 (cost of attendance minus average grant aid for aided undergraduates). That is about $25,401 above the California median net price. Versus suburban campuses, net price runs $15,696 above the locale median.
Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
Interpretation Average net price is a stronger institutional cost signal than published tuition because it incorporates grant aid.
Limitation The campus average masks large differences by household income; income-band net prices can diverge sharply from the overall average.
Key takeaway At DeVry University-California, average net price exceeds published tuition alone because net price uses a fuller cost-of-attendance base.
