History DeVry Inc. was created in 1987 through the merger of DeVry Institutes and Keller Graduate School of Management, which comprise the company's largest division, DeVry University. The company completed its initial public offering in June 1991, and now trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DV. Becker CPA Review, now the Becker Professional Review division of DeVry Inc., was acquired in 1996, and Ross University was acquired in 2003. DeVry's historical roots trace back to 1931, when Dr. Herman DeVry established DeForest Training School in Chicago to prepare students for technical work in electronics, motion pictures, radio and later, television. The name was changed to DeVry Technical Institute in 1953, and then became DeVry Institute of Technology in 1968. We searched the company's database and found 324 openings. Updated May 26, 2005 |
