What school is better Devry or ITT tech?

Answer 1

I would strongly advise you go with Devry. Devry has the preferred regional accreditation, where ITT has a national accreditation. The regional accreditation has higher standards then the national accreditation. In addition, the coursework and degree you complete at ITT will not be recognized by all other regionally accredited institutions and this could present a problem for you should you continue your education to a higher degree at a later date. The credits would not be transerfable to the regionally accredited colleges and universites, and they would not recogonize the degree. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. If your choosing between Devry and ITT, then once again go with Devry. In the future, when searching for a college or university make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. Listed below are the six regional accrediting agencies with their geographical areas of respoansibility. Make sure the institution you choose is accredited by one of these agencies.
