Accreditation
The Computer Engineering Technology (CET), Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) and Electronic Systems Technology (EST) programs are accredited by the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board (CTAB). CTAB is a standing committee of the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists (CCTT). The board was created by CCTT in 1982 to promote excellence in technical education across Canada by furthering the standards used to certify individual technicians and technologists and by the National Accreditation Program, which is used to evaluate applied science and engineering technology programs. Working in partnership with CCTT and provincial constituent member associations, such as The Association of Science and Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta (ASET), the board fulfills its mission through the National Technology Accreditation program.
Organized to establish technician and technologist as professions, all provincial constituent members set standards for professional conduct and practice under the National Transferability Agreement governed by CCTT. ASET, as a constituent member of CCTT, is the official certifying body for graduates from accredited programs, such as DeVry CET, EET and EST programs. DeVry graduates are eligible for certification as technicians or technologists after two years of appropriate work experience.
The Canadian Institute of Marketing (L'Institut Canadien du Marketing) accredits the Bachelor of Business Administration Degree granted by DeVry. This will grant graduates of the DeVry program at least graduate membership (or Associate or Professional membership), based on academic achievement in marketing and length and depth of experience.
In the United States, DeVry University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association (NCA) of colleges and schools, www.ncahlc.org. The University's Keller Graduate School of Management is included in this accreditation.
HLC is one of six regional agencies accrediting U.S. colleges and universities at the institutional level is recognized by both the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation; and accredits approximately one-third of U.S. regionally accredited public and private institutions.
