ROI Score: 20/100 · Below Benchmark
Data: 2024-25 College Scorecard release
DeVry University-Georgia receives a CampusROI score of 20 (Below Benchmark tier) under our methodology, alongside a 12.5% completion rate. Published tuition is $17,408 and the average net price is $28,229 per year, or $112,916 over four years of attendance (a cost figure, not a debt figure). The net price is higher than published tuition because it measures the full cost of attendance after grant aid, not tuition alone. Median debt at graduation is $24,807 against average earnings of $37,600 six years after entry, a 0.66 debt-to-earnings ratio, and median earnings reach $45,987 ten years after entry. Our model estimates a 23-year payback period. Three years after leaving, 55.4% of borrowers were making progress on repayment. Outcomes vary widely by program and by student, and these institution-level figures describe past cohorts rather than any individual result. Figures are from the 2024-2025 College Scorecard release.

The Full Financial Picture
The first number you'll see is the sticker price: $17,408/year, which covers tuition and fees only. The net price counts books, supplies, and average living costs on top of tuition and fees, then subtracts grants and scholarships. For the average student here it comes to $28,229/year, or roughly $112,916 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 $28,229/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.

Cost by Income Bracket Explained
Lower-income families (under $30K)
Families earning under $30,000 report an average net price of $28,229 per year, about $112,900 over four years. Institutional and outside aid can change this figure significantly for individual students.
Middle-income families ($30K-$110K)
Scorecard does not report a net price for the $30,001-$48,000, $48,001-$75,000 and $75,001-$110,000 brackets, which can happen when too few students fall in a bracket to publish a figure.
Higher-income families ($110K+)
Scorecard does not report a net price for families earning over $110,000 here, which can happen when too few students fall in that bracket to publish a figure.

The Verdict: Below Benchmark Under Our Scoring

At a net price of $28,229 per year, with typical graduate earnings of $45,987 ten years after entry, we estimate the payback period at about 23 years.

What to keep an eye on: weak earnings relative to cost, its 12.5% graduation rate, a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.66 (median across the schools we score: 0.61), a three-year loan repayment rate of 55.4% (median across the schools we score: 73.6%), a long payback period.
Median debt of $24,807 among graduates who borrowed, against average earnings of $37,600 six years after entry, gives a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.66. That is under 1.0 (a full year of those earnings); the median across the schools we score is about 0.61. Your major - and how much you borrow - really matters.
