Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications at DeVry College of New York

DeVry College of New York's networking program sits right at the national median for earnings but trails other New York schools by a meaningful margin. While graduates start at $60,540—exactly the national average—this falls short of the $66,954 median for New York networking programs, ranking in just the 40th percentile statewide. The gap becomes more pronounced when compared to top performers like Rochester Institute of Technology, where graduates earn $73,367.

The debt picture presents a significant concern. At $48,014, student debt is nearly double the national median of $27,000 for this program, though it's somewhat above the New York state median of $39,507. This places DeVry in the 95th percentile nationally for debt—meaning 95% of similar programs saddle students with less debt. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.79 means graduates owe nearly 80 cents for every dollar they earn in their first year, which creates a challenging repayment scenario.

For New York families, this program delivers below-average outcomes at above-average cost within the state. While the 10% earnings growth over four years provides some optimism, starting behind peer programs makes it difficult to catch up. Given the 100% admission rate and high debt levels, families should carefully weigh whether this premium over more affordable options delivers proportional value.
