DeVry Education Group Inc. was founded in 1931 by Herman DeVry as the DeForest Training School, offering instruction in electronics, motion picture, radio and TV skills.
By the 1970s, the Downers Grove, Ill.-based institution began to branch out into bachelor’s degree programs and created the MBA program that would become Keller Graduate School of Management in 1974. In 1991, DeVry went public and has since made a major move into health care education. DeVry has about 125,000 students, 14,000 employees and 2013 revenues of $1.96 billion.
