DeVry College of New York
New York, New York · Private For-Profit · 100.0% acceptance rate
ROI Score: 31/100 · Below Benchmark
Data: 2024-25 College Scorecard release
DeVry College of New York scores 31 out of 100 on the CampusROI framework, putting it firmly in Below Benchmark tier. The school is a New York City campus of the DeVry for-profit chain, with a tiny 86-student enrollment that reflects the multi-year retrenchment across the for-profit sector. Tuition is $17,408, net price is $12,855, total 4-year cost $51,420. Average 6-year earnings come in at $37,600 climbing to a median $45,987 at 10 years. Payback is 17.4 years, debt-to-earnings is 0.66, and median debt is $24,807. The drag on the score is structural: a 30.8% completion rate and a 55.4% three-year repayment rate. Notably, program-level debt is double the school-wide median (programs show $46K-$55K of debt), which suggests the school-wide median masks the debt loads of students who actually finish. Read this entry with for-profit-sector context: completers earn reasonable wages.

The Full Financial Picture
The first number you'll see is the sticker price: $17,408/year, which covers tuition and fees only. After grants, scholarships, and aid, the average student here pays a net price of $12,855/year, or roughly $51,420 over four years. That's the number to plan around.
What you actually pay depends a lot on what your family earns. Families making under $30,000/year pay an average of $12,855/year here, while families earning over $110,000 pay N/A/year.
Among graduates who borrowed, the median federal loan debt from this school is $24,807, which works out to about $263 a month on the standard 10-year repayment plan. Our debt-to-earnings ratio divides that debt by average earnings six years after entry ($37,600) and comes to 0.66, under 1.0, meaning median debt is less than a full year of those earnings.
Net Price by Family Income
What families actually pay after grants and scholarships, by income bracket.
| Family Income | Avg Net Price/Year |
|---|---|
| $0 - $30,000 | $12,855 |
| $30,001 - $48,000 | N/A |
| $48,001 - $75,000 | N/A |
| $75,001 - $110,000 | N/A |
| $110,001+ | N/A |
Cost by Income Bracket Explained
Lower-income families (under $30K)
Families under $30,000 pay $12,855 net. Data anomaly: every other income bracket reports null. The $12,855 figure means low-income students need to fund roughly $51,420 over four years, with Pell covering about $30K and federal loans plugging the gap.
Middle-income families ($30K-$110K)
Net price for $30,001-$48,000, $48,001-$75,000, and $75,001-$110,000 brackets are all null, a significant data gap. The pattern likely reflects too-few enrollees in each bracket to publish. Middle-income families should treat the single $12,855 figure as an unreliable predictor and use the school's net price calculator for an individualized estimate.
Higher-income families ($110K+)
Net price for $110,000+ households is also null. The complete absence of higher-income data is unusual and reinforces that DeVry New York serves a narrow Pell-eligible population.

Program Analysis
Why these programs deliver their earnings outcomes.
Business Administration, Management, and Operations
Business Administration is DeVry New York's largest program with 102 graduates, posting $55,102 in 1-year earnings and $68,231 at year four. The 0.849 debt-to-earnings ratio earns a D grade against $46,797 of debt, well above the school-wide $24,807 median. The program-level debt figure tells the real story: completers borrow nearly $47K and start at $55K, leaving little room for loan service plus NYC cost of living. The program graduates with reasonable wages but uncomfortable debt loads.
Computer Systems Analysis
Computer Systems Analysis posts 23 graduates with $51,805 in 1-year earnings and $71,675 at year four. The 0.888 debt-to-earnings ratio earns a D grade against $46,000 of debt. The 4-year earnings jump to $71K is healthy and reflects an IT-administration career path that compounds with experience, but the year-one debt service against $52K is structurally tight.

DeVry New York admits 100% of applicants, the textbook open-enrollment posture of the for-profit sector. SAT and ACT mid-ranges are not reported because the school does not require standardized testing. The 30.8% completion rate against an open admissions policy is the structural problem: the institution accepts every student and graduates fewer than one in three. Prospective students should treat the admit rate as a marketing signal, not a quality signal, and plan as if they will need to fund the program through completion with no margin for stop-out.
