#8: DeVry University-Nevada
10-Year Avg. Payoff: $12,000
DeVry’s larger story goes back to 1931, when Dr. Herman DeVry founded the school with a focus on technology and hands-on learning. The Nevada location in Henderson is part of that wider system, offering hybrid classes and career-oriented programs for students looking for a more flexible college path.

With a 10-year average payoff of $12,000, the return is modest rather than dramatic. Career-focused programs can help students move into practical fields, but costs, debt, completion rates, and job placement all matter. Payoff may look better for graduates who use the degree to enter steadier tech, business, or professional roles.
