Bachelor in Speech Communication and Rhetoric (Bachelor's)

DeVry University-Texas is based in Irving, Texas, with an education model built largely around online college study. Students can choose from undergraduate certificates, associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, graduate certificates, and master’s degrees. Sessions start every eight weeks, which gives students regular entry points as they plan their studies. For international students, the online format is a central part of the learning experience.

Academic offerings focus on technology, business, healthcare, and graduate management. Technology programs develop skills in cybersecurity, information technology, and networking. Business study includes areas such as accounting, human resources, and project management. Healthcare options include healthcare administration and medical billing and coding. Courses combine career-centered subjects with real-world curriculum, while artificial intelligence is incorporated through hands-on practice with AI tools and AI-powered learning assistants in every course.

DeVry began in 1931, when Dr. Herman DeVry founded the institution after inventing the first portable silent motion picture projector. Its programs remain focused on skills connected to changing workplaces. Student support, called DeVry Care, extends from the first conversation with admissions through graduation and beyond. Experienced faculty teach the courses and are intended to know students by name. Affordability options include scholarships and grants, transfer credits, employer reimbursement, and military and veteran benefits. International applicants should review program delivery, admissions requirements, and funding details with DeVry before choosing a course of study.

Students study human communication scientifically, humanistically, and critically across many formats, media, and contexts. They learn interpersonal, group, organizational, professional, and intercultural communication, plus speaking, listening, and verbal and nonverbal interaction.

The field also covers rhetorical theory and criticism, performance studies, argumentation, persuasion, technologically mediated communication, and popular culture. These ideas are applied in communication settings across many contexts.

For international students, tuition is well below the median for US programmes.
