Analysis

DeVry's electromechanical bachelor's program in Texas graduates fewer than 30 students, making these figures less reliable than larger programs, but the available data reveals a significant debt burden relative to starting pay. Students leave with $52,062 in debt—higher than 95% of similar programs nationally—while earning $62,864 in their first year. That 0.83 debt-to-earnings ratio means nearly a full year's salary goes toward loans, which will stretch repayment timelines and constrain early-career financial flexibility.

The upside is solid earnings growth: salaries jump 15% to over $72,000 by year four, and graduates earn at the 60th percentile among Texas programs in this field. For a hands-on technical degree, these mid-career numbers are respectable. However, only two schools in Texas offer this specific bachelor's program, so your child has limited in-state alternatives for comparison. The national picture shows DeVry's outcomes sitting right at the median for earnings but well above it for debt.

Given the small cohort size and high debt load, this program carries more financial risk than many technical degrees. If your child is set on electromechanical work, exploring associate degree pathways or programs at public institutions might deliver similar career access with substantially less debt upfront.
