Financial thoughts

A little more than a year after the Phoenix Business Journal reported that DeVry University was looking to open a campus in the West Valley, the school has chosen a spot in Glendale’s Westgate City Center.

DeVry will begin offering classes in July in about 18,000 square feet at 6751 N. Sunset Blvd., Glendale. This will be DeVry’s 95th location in 26 states and Canada, and its fourth in Arizona.

Plans call for offering undergraduate degree programs through its colleges of Business & Management and Engineering & Information Sciences.

DeVry’s Keller Graduate School of Management also will offer a number of master’s degree programs in business and technology in Glendale.

DeVry is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

Jeff Blake, who served most recently as dean of Keller’s Phoenix campus and dean of graduate studies for the Phoenix metropolitan area, has been named dean of the Glendale campus. Before joining DeVry in January 2003, he was director of organizational development for Schwab University in Phoenix.
