Master in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications (Master's)

DeVry University began in 1931, when Dr. Herman DeVry founded the institution with a mission to rethink how students learn. His work as the inventor of the first portable silent motion picture projector shaped the university's early focus on innovation. DeVry now offers undergraduate certificates, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, graduate certificates, and master's degrees.

Academic options cover technology fields such as cybersecurity, information technology, and networking; business areas including accounting, human resources, and project management; and healthcare subjects such as healthcare administration and medical billing and coding. The Keller Graduate School of Management provides additional graduate degree and certificate options. Courses combine career-focused content with practical applications, and AI tools are incorporated through real-world practice and learning assistants in every course.

The Arlington location places DeVry University-Virginia in a city in the Washington, DC region, while the university's study model is designed around online learning. International students should expect flexible online study rather than a traditional residential campus experience. Faculty bring professional experience to their courses, and DeVry Care provides support from the first conversation through graduation and beyond. Sessions begin every eight weeks. Students may also be able to transfer qualifying credit hours, and scholarships, grants, employer reimbursement, and military or veteran benefits may help reduce education costs for eligible students.
