It could. But I wouldn't count on it. Try University of Phoenix. They're a great school.
My cousin got a degree from Devry and the employers were not too into that. They wanted something from a more qualifed school.

If I'm correct, I have a friend who graduated from DeVry back in the 80's with his B.S. DeVry, unlike universities or colleges, focuses only on classes relevant to your major. You will not take classes in philosphy or English or social sciences, etc.
As a result, many graduate programs tend to snub DeVry graduates. So if your goals are to go on to a masters or doctoral degree, you may have to be careful. But if you are interested in just getting a bachelor's degree, DeVry will be able to help you.
This friend obtained his degree in computer sciences and was readily able to obtain jobs - including at big companies - in computer programming. He now has his own small consulting business. So it can lead to a good career.
But again, do be warned - some hiring managers might look down on DeVry as not a "real" college. Some might feel you don't have enough of an overall education. Some might hire you, but for a bit less than another person. But if DeVry allows you to get your foot in the door, then that's all you really need. After that, it's up to you and what you do with that job and your further education.
Good luck!

Devry is not good for finance - you are better going to a Community College. Devry credits do not transfer to a University, and they do not have a strong reputation. Get your AA from the local CC and it will give you more options in the future - and probably be cheaper too!

maybe
do a study, it will be good practice for you
cost/benefit analysis
how much does it cost/ how much do the graduates make
consider how many actually get jobs, how much pay, are they happy, how many don't, maybe talk with some of them, if or when you can't get that info its a very bad sign
then do the same for a University finance program to campare
