Yesterday on my flight home from Miami I was sitting next to a guy from St. Maarten. He is a medical student at American University of the Caribbean (AUC) there and he told me something I didn’t know. DeVry recently purchased AUC for $235 Million. I thought DeVry was just a Chicago school, but it turns out that it is a for-profit company that has a wealth of different educational institutions.
In just the healthcare division, Devry Inc. owns a chain of nursing schools, a school offering physician assistant courses, and Ross, another medical school in the Caribbean. In addition they have a business school, veterinary school, and degree programs in graphic design, business communications, and computer forensics among others. According to their website, “DeVry Inc. is one of the largest publicly held, international, higher educational organizations in North America.”
