Developmental
Programs
DeVry Irving
offers several semesters of developmental reading, writing and
math to help students with low admission scores build a foundation
for successful completion of a degree. Developmental students
may combine their developmental course(s) with one or two mainstream
courses, which are not in their developmental area. Rather than
refusing admission to these students, DeVry gives them several
semesters to upgrade their basic skills.
Students who
do not place in the developmental range may take a course at no
cost (except for books) to prepare them to retake the entrance
test (the CPT) and make the necessary score to enter the next
level of reading, writing, and/or math. These students may take
MATH017 and/or ENGL017 and must earn a B or higher in the course(s)
in order to retake the CPT.
Students scoring
in the developmental range on the CPT enter DeVry on a conditional
basis to take MATH032 and/or MATH092 or ENGL032 and/or ENGL092.
Near perfect attendance is required in these courses as students
must make a C or better in order to move forward with their education.
Length
Of Study:
Though taking
the extra course (or courses) will increase the length of time
spent at DeVry, these classes form the foundation for successfully
completing a degree.
