DEVRY INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1: INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DeVry Inc. (DeVry) and
its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited but, in
the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of
DeVry. The June 30, 2010 data presented were derived from audited financial statements.
The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in DeVrys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, and DeVrys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2010, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses
reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Marketable Securities and Investments
DeVry owns investments in marketable securities that have been designated as available for
sale in accordance with authoritative guidance. Available for sale securities are carried at fair
value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a
component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
Marketable securities and investments consist of investments in mutual funds. The following
is a summary of our available-for-sale marketable securities at December 31, 2010 (dollars in
thousands):

Investments are classified as short-term if they are readily convertible to cash or have other
characteristics of short-term investments such as highly liquid markets or maturities within one
year. All mutual fund investments are recorded at fair market value based upon quoted market
prices. At December 31, 2010, all of the Bond and Stock mutual fund investments are held in a
rabbi trust for the purpose of paying benefits under DeVrys non-qualified deferred compensation
plan.
As of December 31, 2010, all unrealized losses in the above table have been in a continuous
unrealized loss position for more than one year. When evaluating its investments for possible
impairment, DeVry reviews factors such as length of time and extent to which fair value has been
less than cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and DeVrys ability and intent to hold
the investment for a period of time that may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in fair value.
The decline in value of the above investments is considered temporary in nature and, accordingly,
DeVry does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31,
2010.
6
As of June 30, 2010, DeVry held auction-rate debt securities in the aggregate principal amount
of $13.5 million. These outstanding securities were purchased by DeVrys broker, UBS, in early July
2010.
Realized gains and losses are computed on the basis of specific identification and are
included in Net Interest and Other Income/(Expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
DeVry has not recorded any realized gains or realized losses for fiscal 2011. See Note 4 for
further disclosures on the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
Prepaid Clinical Fees
Clinical rotation costs for Ross University medical students are included in Cost of
Educational Services. Over the past several years, Ross University has entered into long-term
contracts with a hospital group to secure clinical rotations for its students at fixed rates in
exchange for prepayment of the rotation fees. Under the contracts, the established
rate-per-clinical rotation was being deducted from the prepaid balance and charged to expense as
the medical students utilized the clinical clerkships. The hospital group closed two of its
hospitals due to financial difficulties in February 2009. To date, the hospital group has provided
Ross with a limited number of additional clinical clerkships at its remaining hospital, but not
nearly enough to offset the void created by the closure of its other two hospitals. During April
2009, Ross filed a lawsuit against the hospital group to enforce the contract. The suit seeks
specific performance of the hospital groups obligations to provide Ross with the prepaid clinical
clerkships. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance of prepaid clinical rotations with
this hospital group was approximately $6.2 million. Though DeVry believes that Ross has a
contractual right to utilize other clinical rotations within the hospital groups system, given the
business uncertainty of this situation, a reserve of $1.6 million has been provided against the
prepaid balance.
Internal-Use Software Development Costs
DeVry capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs that are amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated lives of the software, not to exceed five years.
Capitalized costs include external direct costs of equipment, materials and services consumed in
developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll-related costs for employees directly
associated with the internal-use software development project. Capitalization of such costs ceases
at the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose.
Capitalized internal-use software development costs for projects not yet complete are included as
construction in progress in the Land, Buildings and Equipment section of the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. Costs capitalized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, were
approximately $7.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively. Costs capitalized during the three and
six months ended December 31, 2009, were approximately $8.2 million and $12.4 million,
respectively. In both years these costs were primarily related to Project DELTA (a new student
information system for DeVry University and Chamberlain College of Nursing). As of December 31,
2010 and 2009, the net balance of capitalized software development costs was $56.3 million and
$20.8 million, respectively.
Perkins Program Fund
DeVry University is required, under federal aid program regulations, to make contributions to
the Perkins Student Loan Fund, most recently at a rate equal to 33% of new contributions by the
federal government. No new federal contributions have been received in fiscal 2011 or fiscal 2010.
DeVry carries its investment in such contributions at original values, net of allowances for
expected losses on loan collections, of $2.6 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009. The allowance
for future loan losses is based upon an analysis of actual loan losses experienced since the
inception of the program. As previous borrowers repay their Perkins loans, their payments are used
to fund new loans, thus creating a revolving loan fund. The federal contributions to this
revolving loan program do not belong to DeVry and are not recorded on its financial statements.
Under current law, upon termination of the program by the federal government or withdrawal from
future program participation by DeVry University, subsequent student loan repayments would be
divided between the federal government and DeVry University to satisfy their respective cumulative
contributions to the fund.
Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to DeVry Inc. by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus unvested participating
restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to
DeVry Inc. by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive shares are computed
using the Treasury Stock Method and reflect the additional shares that would be outstanding if
dilutive stock options were exercised during the period. Excluded from the computations of diluted
earnings per share were options to purchase 1,291,000 and 1,186,000 shares of common stock for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, and 817,000 and 717,000 shares of
common stock for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 , respectively. These outstanding
options were excluded because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price
of the common shares or the assumed proceeds
7
upon exercise under the Treasury Stock Method resulted in the repurchase of more shares than
would be issued; thus, their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares (in thousands).

Treasury Stock
DeVrys Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase programs on five occasions (see
Note 6 Dividends and Stock Repurchase Program). The first repurchase program was completed in
April 2008, the second program was completed in November 2009, the third program was completed in
September 2010, and the fourth program was completed in December 2010. The fifth repurchase
program was approved by the DeVry Board of Directors on November 10, 2010. Shares that are
repurchased by DeVry are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of
Shareholders Equity.
From time to time, shares of its common stock are delivered back to DeVry under a swap
arrangement resulting from employees exercise of incentive stock options pursuant to the terms of
the DeVry Stock Incentive Plans (see Note 3 Stock-Based Compensation). These shares are
recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders Equity.
Treasury shares are reissued on a monthly basis at market value, to the DeVry Employee Stock
Purchase Plan in exchange for employee payroll deductions. When treasury shares are reissued,
DeVry uses an average cost method to reduce the Treasury Stock balance. Gains on the difference
between the average cost and the reissuance price are credited to Additional Paid-in Capital.
Losses on the difference are charged to Additional Paid-in Capital to the extent that previous net
gains from reissuance are included therein; otherwise such losses are charged to Retained Earnings.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is composed of the change in cumulative translation
adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of the
effects of income taxes. The following are the amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income for the three and six months ended December 31 (dollars in thousands).

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income balance at December 31, 2010, consists of $13.9
million ($11.3 million attributable to DeVry Inc. and $2.6 million attributable to non-controlling
interests) of cumulative translation gains and $0.3 million of unrealized losses on
available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.2 million and all attributable to DeVry
Inc. At December 31, 2009, this balance consisted of $11.9 million ($9.9 million attributable to
DeVry Inc. and $2.0 million attributable to non-
8
controlling interests) of cumulative translation gains and $0.4 million of unrealized losses
on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.2 million and all attributable to
DeVry Inc.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are recognized as expense in the period in which materials are purchased or
services are performed. Advertising expense, which is included in student services and
administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $60.8 million and $122.8
million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, and $49.8 million and
$102.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued and revised authoritative guidance for improving disclosure
on fair value measurements. This guidance requires reporting entities to provide information about
movements of assets among levels of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157
(ASC 820). The guidance is effective for DeVrys fiscal year 2011, and it should be used for
quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance did not have a significant impact on
DeVrys financial disclosures.
In July 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for improving disclosure on the credit
quality of financing receivables and allowances for credit losses. This guidance requires reporting
entities to provide information that will enable readers of financial statements to understand the
nature of credit risk in a companys financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed in
determining the related allowance for credit losses and changes to the allowance during the
reporting period. The guidance is effective for DeVrys second quarter of fiscal year 2011, and it
should be used for quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance is included in
Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
DeVry maintains four stock-based award plans: the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan, the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive Plan. Under these plans,
directors, key executives and managerial employees are eligible to receive incentive stock or
nonqualified options to purchase shares of DeVrys common stock. The 2005 Incentive Plan also
permits the award of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance stock and other stock
and cash based compensation. Though options remain outstanding under the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan,
no further stock based awards will be issued from this plan. The 1999 and 2003 Stock Incentive
Plans and the 2005 Incentive Plan are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. Options are granted for terms of up to 10 years and can vest immediately or over
periods of up to five years. The requisite service period is equal to the vesting period. The
option price under the plans is the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.
DeVry accounts for options granted to retirement eligible employees that fully vest upon an
employees retirement under the non-substantive vesting period approach to these options. Under
this approach, the entire compensation cost is recognized at the grant date for options issued to
retirement eligible employees.
At December 31, 2010, 4,649,288 authorized but unissued shares of common stock were reserved
for issuance under DeVrys stock incentive plans.
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award,
and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period, reduced by an estimated
forfeiture rate.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and
2009 was $0.4 million and $5.1 million, respectively.
The fair value of DeVrys stock-based awards was estimated using a binomial model. This model
uses historical cancellation and exercise experience of DeVry to determine the option value. It
also takes into account the illiquid nature of employee options during the vesting period.
The weighted average estimated grant date fair values, for options granted at market price
under DeVrys stock option plans during first six months of fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were $16.53
and $23.11, per share, respectively. The fair values of DeVrys stock option awards were estimated
assuming the following weighted average assumptions:

The expected life of the options granted is based on the weighted average exercise life with
age and salary adjustment factors from historical exercise behavior. DeVrys expected volatility is
computed by combining and weighting the implied market volatility, the most recent volatility over
the expected life of the option grant, and DeVrys long-term historical volatility. The pre-vesting
forfeiture rate is based on DeVrys historical stock option forfeiture experience.
If factors change and different assumptions are employed in the valuation of stock-based
awards in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that DeVry records may differ
significantly from what was recorded in previous periods.
During the first six months of fiscal year 2011, DeVry granted 276,540 shares of restricted
stock to selected employees and non-employee directors. Of these, 69,970 are performance based
shares which are earned by the recipients over a three year period based on achievement of
specified DeVry return on invested capital targets. The remaining 206,570 shares and all other
previously granted non-performance based shares of restricted stock are subject to restrictions
which lapse ratably over three and four-year periods on the grant anniversary date based on the
recipients continued service on the Board of Directors or employment with DeVry, or upon
retirement. During the restriction period, the recipient of the non-performance based shares shall
have a beneficial interest in the restricted stock and all associated rights and privileges of a
stockholder, including the right to receive dividends. These rights do not pertain to the
performance based shares. The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the six
months ended December 31, 2010:

As of December 31, 2010, $29.4 million of total pre-tax unrecognized compensation costs
related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8
years. The total fair value of options and shares vested during the three months ended December 31,
2010 and 2009, was approximately $7.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
DeVry has an established practice of issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy share
option exercises. However, DeVry also may issue treasury shares to satisfy option exercises under
certain of its plans.
NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As permitted by the authoritative guidance, DeVry has elected not to measure any assets or
liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value such as financial
assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and assets
measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis such as goodwill and intangible assets. Management
has fully considered all authoritative guidance when determining the fair value of DeVrys
financial assets as of December 31, 2010.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance specifies a fair
value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable
inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable
inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The guidance establishes
fair value measurement classifications under the following hierarchy:
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations
in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active
markets.
Level 3 Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant
value-drivers are unobservable.
11
When available, DeVry uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and such measurements
are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, DeVry makes
use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are
classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is
based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters
such as interest rates and yield curves. These measurements are classified within Level 3.
Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver
that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3
even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
The following tables present DeVrys assets at December 31, 2010, that are measured at fair
value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy (dollars in
thousands).

Cash Equivalents and investments in short-term Marketable Securities are valued using a market
approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.
Below is a roll-forward of assets measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the six
months ended December 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands). At no time during the three month period
ended December 31, 2010, were any assets measured using Level 3 inputs. All Level 3 investments
were purchased by DeVrys broker, UBS, in early July 2010. These investments consisted of auction
rate securities. These securities were valued using a discounted cash flow model using assumptions
that, in managements judgment, reflected the assumptions a marketplace participant would have
used. See Note 2-Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies-Marketable Securities and Investments
for further information on these investments.

NOTE 5: FINANCING RECEIVABLES
DeVrys institutional loan programs are available to students at its DeVry University,
Chamberlain College of Nursing, Carrington College and Carrington College of California schools as
well as selected students at Ross University School of Medicine. These loan programs are designed
to assist students who are unable to completely cover educational costs by other means. These loans
may be used only for tuition, books, and fees, and are available only after all other student
financial assistance has been applied toward those purposes. Repayment plans for institutional loan
program balances are developed to address the financial circumstances of the particular student.
Interest charges accrue each month on the unpaid balance. After a student leaves school, the
student typically will have a monthly installment repayment plan with all balances due within 12 to
60 months. In addition, the Becker CPA Review Course can be financed through Becker with a zero
percent, 18-month term loan.
Reserves for uncollectible loans are determined by analyzing the current aging of accounts
receivable and historical loss rates of loans at each educational institution. In addition,
management considers projections of future receivable levels and collection loss rates. Management
performs this analysis periodically throughout the year. Since all of DeVrys financing
receivables are generated through the extension of credit to students to fund educational costs,
all such receivables are considered part of the same loan portfolio.

allowances for credit losses as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTE 6: DIVIDENDS AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On November 10, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share
of common stock. This dividend was paid on January 10, 2011, to common stockholders of record as of
December 10, 2010. The total dividend declared of $8.4 million was recorded as a reduction to
retained earnings as of December 31, 2010. On May 18, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors declared
a cash dividend of $0.10 per share. This dividend was paid on July 8, 2010, to common stockholders
of record as of June 15, 2010. The total dividend declared of $7.1 million was recorded as a
reduction to retained earnings as of June 30, 2010. Future dividends will be at the discretion of
the Board of Directors.
On November 10, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors authorized a fifth share repurchase
program, which allows DeVry to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock through December
31, 2012. Under this plan as of December 31, 2010, DeVry has repurchased, on the open market,
23,188 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $1.1 million. The timing and
amount of any repurchase will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market
conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including
block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded
through available cash balances and/or borrowings, and may be suspended or discontinued at any
time.
DeVry completed its first share repurchase program in April 2008, repurchasing, on the open
market, 908,399 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $35.0 million. On May
13, 2008, the DeVry Board of Directors authorized a second share
13
repurchase program, which allowed DeVry to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock through
December 31, 2010. As of November 30, 2009, DeVry completed this share repurchase program,
repurchasing, on the open market, 1,027,417 shares of its common stock at a total cost of
approximately $50.0 million. On November 11, 2009, the DeVry Board of Directors authorized a third
share repurchase program, which allowed DeVry to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock
through December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2010, DeVry completed this share repurchase program,
repurchasing, on the open market, 972,205 shares of its common stock at a total cost of
approximately $50.0 million. On August 11, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors authorized a fourth
share repurchase program, which allowed DeVry to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock
through June 30, 2012. As of December 31, 2010, DeVry had completed this share repurchase program,
repurchasing, on the open market, 1,103,628 shares of its common stock at a total cost of
approximately $50.0 million.
Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. These repurchased
shares have reduced the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and
diluted earnings per share calculations.
NOTE 7: INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets relate mainly to acquired business operations. These assets consist of the
acquisition fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets acquired and goodwill. Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired less liabilities
assumed.
Intangible assets consist of the following (dollars in thousands):

All amortizable intangible assets, except for the Advanced Academics (AAI) Customer Contracts
and DeVry Brasil Student Relationships, are being amortized on a straight-line basis.
The amount being amortized for the AAI Customer Contracts is based on the estimated renewal
probability of the contracts, giving consideration to the revenue and discounted cash flow
associated with the respective Direct to Student and Direct to District customer relationships.
This results in the basis being amortized at an annual rate for each of the years of estimated
economic life as follows:

The amount being amortized for the DeVry Brasil Student Relationships is based on the
estimated progression of the students through the respective programs, giving consideration to the
revenue and cash flow associated with both existing students and new applicants. This results in

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to Trademarks, Trade Names, Title IV Eligibility,
Accreditations and Intellectual Property are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory,
contractual, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the
reporting entity. Beginning in fiscal year 2010, the Trade Name associated with the Stalla CFA
Review was reclassified to a finite lived intangible asset and is being amortized on a straight
line basis over two years. This asset had a book value of $0.5 million as of December 31, 2010. As
of the latest impairment analysis completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the
assets fair value exceeded this book value.
Authoritative guidance provides that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a
business combination are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if
circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently
completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 at which time there was no impairment loss
associated with recorded goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, as estimated fair values
exceeded the carrying amount.
DeVry did not perform an interim impairment review during the first six months of fiscal year
2011, as no impairment indicators were noted through the period ended December 31, 2010. The
estimated fair values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their
carrying values by at least 40% as of the end of fiscal year 2010 except those indefinite-lived
intangible assets acquired with the acquisitions of Carrington and DeVry Brasil where fair values
exceeded carrying values by at least 14%. The smaller premium for the newly acquired assets would
be expected considering all have been acquired within twenty months of the fourth quarter fiscal
year 2010 valuation date and there has been less time for these assets to have appreciated in value
from their fair market value purchase price. Management did not believe business conditions had
deteriorated in any of its reporting units to the extent that the fair values of the reporting
units or indefinite-lived intangible assets would have differed materially from their fiscal year
2010 fair values. In this regard, revenues grew for all reporting units in the first six months of
fiscal year 2011 except at Advanced Academics (AAI). At AAI, which carries a goodwill balance of
$17.1 million, revenues declined slightly from the prior year. The revenue decline at Advanced
Academics was the result of lower summer school and fall enrollments as school districts have
reduced such programs driven by state budget constraints. AAI also experienced a decline in
operating profit which was the result of the decline in revenues and increased investment to
initiate programs designed to enhance future revenue growth. The fair value of the AAI reporting
unit significantly exceeded its carrying value as of the fiscal year 2010 impairment analysis.
Management believes the negative trends at AAI will be temporary and believes its planned business
and operational strategies will reverse this negative trend in the foreseeable future. However, if
operating improvements are not realized, all or some of the goodwill could be impaired in the
future.

Total goodwill increased by $1.78 million from June 30, 2010. This increase is the result of
an increase in the value of the Brazilian Real as compared to the U.S. dollar. Since DeVry Brasil
goodwill is recorded in the local Brazilian currency, fluctuations in its value in relation to the
U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.

The only change in the indefinite-lived intangible assets balances from June 30, 2010,
resulted from the effects of foreign currency translation. Since DeVry Brasil intangible assets are
recorded in the local Brazilian currency, fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real in
relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.
NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES
DeVrys effective income tax rate reflects benefits derived from significant operations
outside the United States. Earnings of these international operations are not subject to U.S.
federal or state income taxes, so long as such earnings are not repatriated, as discussed below.
Three of DeVrys subsidiaries, Ross University School of Medicine (the Medical School) incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (the
Veterinary School) incorporated under the laws of the Federation of St. Christopher, Nevis, St.
Kitts in the West Indies, and DeVry Brasil incorporated under the laws of Brazil, all benefit from
local tax incentives. The Medical and Veterinary Schools have agreements with the respective
governments that exempt them from local income taxation through the years 2043 and 2023,
respectively, while DeVry Brasils effective tax rate reflects
17
benefits derived from their
participation in PROUNI, a Brazilian program for providing scholarships to a portion of its
undergraduate students.
DeVry has not recorded a U.S. federal or state tax provision for the undistributed earnings of
its international subsidiaries. It is DeVrys intention to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash
balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits to improve the
facilities and operations of its international Schools and pursue future opportunities outside the
United States. In accordance with this plan, cash held by the international subsidiaries will not
be available for general company purposes and under current laws will not be subject to U.S.
taxation. As of December 31 2010 and 2009, cumulative undistributed earnings attributable to
international operations were approximately $298.8 million and $234.1 million, respectively.
The effective tax rate was 34.5% for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
year 2011, compared to 33.6% and 32.9% for the prior year second quarter and first six months,
respectively. The higher effective income tax rate in fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to an
increase in the proportion of income generated by U.S. operations versus the offshore operations of
Ross University as compared to the prior year.
As of December 31, 2010, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax
positions, including positions impacting only the timing of tax benefits, was $6.5 million. The
amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was
$6.5 million. As of December 31, 2009, gross unrecognized tax benefits, including positions
impacting only the timing of benefits, was $1.7 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $1.7 million. We expect that
our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by an insignificant amount during the next twelve
months. DeVry classifies interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the
provision for income taxes. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2010
was $0.7 million. The corresponding amount at December 31, 2010 was not materially different from
the amount at June 30, 2010.

Revolving Credit Facility
All of DeVrys borrowings and letters of credit under its $175 million revolving credit
facility are through DeVry Inc. and Global Education International, Inc. (GEI), an international
subsidiary. The revolving credit facility became effective on May 16, 2003, and was amended as of
September 30, 2005 and again on January 11, 2007. DeVry Inc. aggregate commitments including
borrowings and letters of credit under this agreement cannot exceed $175.0 million, and GEI
aggregate commitments cannot exceed $50.0 million. At the request of DeVry, the maximum borrowings
and letters of credit can be increased to $275.0 million in total with GEI aggregate commitments
not to exceed $50.0 million. There are no required payments under this revolving credit agreement
and all borrowings and letters of credit mature on January 11, 2012. As a result of the agreement
extending beyond one year, any borrowings would be classified as long-term with the exception of
amounts expected to be repaid in the 12 months subsequent to the balance sheet date. DeVry Inc.
letters of credit outstanding under this agreement were $4.6 million and $15.2 million as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, had there been outstanding
borrowings under this agreement they would have borne interest, payable quarterly or upon
expiration of the interest rate period, at the prime rate or at a LIBOR rate plus 0.50%, at the
option of DeVry. Outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit agreement are charged an
annual fee equal to 0.50% of the undrawn face amount of the letter of credit, payable quarterly.
The agreement also requires payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.1% of the
18
undrawn portion of the
credit facility. The interest rate, letter of credit fees and commitment fees are adjustable
quarterly, based upon DeVrys achievement of certain financial ratios.
The revolving credit agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, require
maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. These financial ratios
include a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated leverage ratio and a composite
Equity, Primary Reserve and Net Income, Department of Education, financial responsibility ratio
(DOE Ratio). Failure to maintain any of these ratios or to comply with other covenants contained
in the agreement will constitute an event of default and could result in termination of the
agreement and require payment of all outstanding borrowings. DeVry was in compliance with all debt
covenants as of December 31, 2010.
The stock of certain subsidiaries of DeVry is pledged as collateral for the borrowings under
the revolving credit facility.
Auction Rate Securities Collateralized Line of Credit
In connection with the completion of the acquisition of Carrington, on September 18, 2008,
DeVry borrowed approximately $46 million against its portfolio of auction rate securities under a
temporary, uncommitted, demand revolving line of credit facility between DeVry Inc. and UBS Bank
USA (the Lender). This borrowing totaled approximately 80% of the fair market value on September
18, 2008, of DeVrys auction rate securities portfolio held through its broker, UBS, which was the
maximum borrowing permitted under this credit facility. These borrowings were fully repaid as of
June 30, 2010, and the lending agreement was terminated.
NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
DeVry is subject to occasional lawsuits, administrative
proceedings, regulatory reviews and investigations associated with financial assistance programs
and other claims arising in the normal conduct of its business. The following is a description of
pending litigation that may be considered other than ordinary and routine litigation that is
incidental to the business.
The Boca Raton Firefighters and Police Pension Fund filed a complaint (the Shareholder
Case) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on November 1,
2010 (Case No. 1:10-cv-07031). The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who
purchased DeVry common stock between October 25, 2007, and August 13, 2010. The plaintiffs claim
DeVry, Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst and David J. Pauldine violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated there under by failing to
disclose abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending practices, thereby increasing
DeVrys student enrollment and revenues and artificially inflating DeVrys stock price during the
class period. DeVry and its executives believe the allegations contained in the complaint are
without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.
Two derivative cases similar to the Shareholder Case also were filed in the Circuit Court of
Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division: DeVry shareholder Timothy Hald filed a derivative
complaint on behalf of DeVry on January 3, 2011 (Hald v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0087) and
Matthew Green (also a DeVry shareholder) filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry on January
7, 2011 (Green v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0770) (Derivative Actions). The Derivative
Actions allege that Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst, David J. Pauldine, Sharon T. Parrott,
Ronald L. Taylor, Lisa W. Pickrum, Darren R. Huston, David S. Brown, William T. Keevan, Fernando
Ruiz, Harold D. Shapiro, Lyle Logan, and Julia McGee breached their fiduciary duties to DeVry by
failing to disclose the same allegedly abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending
practices alleged in the Shareholder Case. The Derivative Actions also allege that DeVrys officers
and directors unjustly enriched themselves and wasted DeVrys assets by (i) causing DeVry to incur
substantial costs in defending the Shareholder Case; (ii) causing DeVry to pay compensation and
benefits to individuals who breached their fiduciary duties; (iii) causing potential losses from
certain of DeVrys programs no longer being eligible for federal financial aid; and (iv) damaging
DeVrys corporate image and goodwill. DeVry and its executives believe the allegations contained
in the derivative complaints are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.
Although DeVry believes that the Shareholder Case and the Derivative Actions are without
merit, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and other proceedings, reviews, investigations
and contingencies is difficult to predict. At this time, DeVry does not expect that the outcome of
any such matter will have a material effect on its cash flows, results of operations or financial
position.

NOTE 11: SEGMENT INFORMATION
DeVrys principal business is providing secondary and post-secondary education. The services
of our operations are described in more detail in Note 1- Nature of Operations to the
consolidated financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2010. DeVry presents four reportable segments: Business, Technology and
Management, which includes DeVry University undergraduate and graduate operations; Professional
Education, which includes the professional exam review and training operations of Becker CPA
Review and Stalla Review for the CFA Exams; Medical and Healthcare which includes the operations
of Ross University medical and veterinary schools, Chamberlain College of Nursing and Carrington;
and Other Educational which includes the DeVry Brasil and AAI operations.
These segments are consistent with the method by which the Chief Operating Decision Maker
(DeVrys President and CEO) evaluates performance and allocates resources. Such decisions are
based, in part, on each segments operating income, which is defined as income before interest
income and expense, amortization, minority interest and income taxes. Intersegment sales are
accounted for at amounts comparable to sales to nonaffiliated customers and are eliminated in
consolidation. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements contained
in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
The consistent measure of segment operating income excludes interest income and expense,
amortization and certain corporate-related depreciation and expenses. As such, these items are
reconciling items in arriving at income before income taxes. The consistent measure of segment
assets excludes deferred income tax assets and certain depreciable corporate assets. Additions to
long-lived assets have been measured in this same manner. Reconciling items are included as
corporate assets.
Following is a tabulation of business segment information based on the current segmentation
for each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Corporate information is
included where it is needed to reconcile segment data to the consolidated financial statements
(dollars in thousands).

Beginning in fiscal year 2011, certain additions to long-lived assets that were previously
reported in the Business, Technology and Management segment are now reported as Corporate
additions. These additions consist primarily of the costs being capitalized as part of the Project
DELTA (a new student information system for DeVry University and Chamberlain College of Nursing.
See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Internal-Use Software Development
Costs).
DeVry conducts its educational operations in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean
countries of Dominica and St. Kitts/Nevis, Brazil, Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific Rim.
Other international revenues, which are derived principally from Brazil and Canada, were less than
5% of total revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Revenues and long-lived

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
Through its website, DeVry offers (free of charge) its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission. DeVrys Web site is http://www.devryinc.com.
The following discussion of DeVrys results of operations and financial condition should be
read in conjunction with DeVrys Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto in
Item 1, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and DeVrys Consolidated
Financial Statements and related Notes thereto in Item 8 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA in DeVrys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. DeVrys
Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a description of critical accounting policies and estimates and
assumptions used in the preparation of DeVrys financial statements. These include, but are not
limited to, revenue and expense recognition; allowance for uncollectible accounts; internally
developed software; land, buildings and equipment; stock-based compensation; impairment of goodwill
and other intangible assets; impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes.
The somewhat seasonal pattern of DeVrys enrollments and its educational program starting
dates affect the results of operations and the timing of cash flows. Therefore, management
believes that comparisons of its results of operations should be made to the corresponding period
in the preceding year. Comparisons of financial position should be made to both the end of the
previous fiscal year and to the end of the corresponding quarterly period in the preceding year.
22
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those that
affect DeVrys expectations or plans, may constitute forward-looking statements subject to the

forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as DeVry Inc. or its
management anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, forecasts, foresees, intends,
plans or other words or phrases of similar import. Such statements are inherently uncertain and
may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause future results to differ materially from those
projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties that
could affect DeVrys results are described throughout this Report, including those in Note 10 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, and in DeVrys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2010 including, without limitation, in Item 1A, Risk
Factors and in the subsections of Item 1 Business entitled Competition, Student Recruiting
and Admission, Accreditation, Approval and Licensing, Tuition and Fees, Financial Aid and
Financing Student Education, Student Loan Defaults, Career Services, Seasonality, and
Employees.
All forward-looking statements included in this report are based upon information presently
available, and DeVry assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
DeVrys focus on academic quality, successful student outcomes, and continued execution of its
diversification strategy has produced another quarter of solid results. Operational and financial
highlights for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 include:
|
|
|
Total revenues rose 16.6%, and net income increased 22.4% over the year-ago
period, while at the same time DeVry continued to make investments in its educational
programs and to enhance student services. |
|
|
|
|

nursing professionals. Chamberlain new student enrollment in the Fall semester increased
42% and total student enrollment increased 58%. |
|
|
|
|

CA, began enrolling students in programs for Medical Assisting, Medical Billing and
Coding, Pharmacy Technology, and Veterinary Training. |
|
|
|
|
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants released is 2009 Elijah

|
|
|
|

began executing its fifth program. DeVry repurchased a total of 860,600 shares of its
common stock under both programs at an average cost of $45.80 per share in the second
quarter. |
|
|
|
|

raising its annual dividend rate from $0.20 per share to $0.24. Payable on a semi-annual
basis, the most recent dividend of $0.12 per share was paid on January 10, 2011. |
|
|
|
|
DeVrys financial position remained strong generating $273.9 million of
operating cash flow during the first six months of fiscal year 2011, driven primarily by
strong operating results and working capital improvements. As of December 31, 2010, cash
and marketable securities balances totaled $461.7 million and there were no outstanding
borrowings. |

student enrollments, improved student retention and tuition price increases.
Business, Technology and Management
Business, Technology and Management segment revenues increased 18.4% to $370.7 million in the
second quarter and rose 21.3% to $723.7 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as
compared to the respective year-ago periods driven primarily by growth in total student
enrollments, improved retention and tuition price increases. The Business, Technology and
Management segment is comprised solely of DeVry University. Key trends in enrollment and tuition
pricing are set forth below.
Total undergraduate enrollment by term:
|
|
|
Increased by 25.6% from spring 2009 (53,259 students) to spring 2010 (66,909
students); |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 22.0% from summer 2009 (55,979 students) to summer 2010 (68,290
students); and |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 14.9% from fall 2009 (64,003 students) to fall 2010 (73,543
students). This was a record high enrollment at DeVry University and marked the fifteenth
consecutive term of positive total undergraduate student enrollment growth from the year-ago
level. |
New undergraduate enrollment by term:
|
|
|
Increased by 24.0% from spring 2009 (14,288 students) to spring 2010 (17,715
students); |
24
|
|
|
Increased by 9.9% from summer 2009 (19,057 students) to summer 2010 (20,935
students); and |
|
|
|
|
Decreased by 4.7% from fall 2009 (18,878 students) to fall 2010 (17,983
students). |
Graduate coursetaker enrollment, including the Keller Graduate School of Management:
The term coursetaker refers to the number of courses taken by a student. Thus, one student
taking two courses is counted as two coursetakers.
|
|
|
Increased by 17.6% from the July 2009 session (17,991 coursetakers) to the July
2010 session (21,165 coursetakers); |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 14.1% from the September 2009 session (20,496 coursetakers) to the
September 2010 session (23,389 coursetakers); and |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 11.9% from the November 2009 session (20,734 coursetakers) to the
November 2010 session (23,199 coursetakers). |
Tuition rates:
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, DeVry Universitys U.S. undergraduate tuition ranges from
$580 to $600 per credit hour for students enrolling in 1 to 11 credit hours. Tuition ranges
from $350 to $360 per credit hour for each credit hour in excess of 11 credit hours. These
tuition rates vary by location and/or program and represent an expected weighted average
increase of approximately 3.5% as compared to the year-ago period. These amounts do not
include the cost of books, supplies, transportation and living expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, Keller Graduate School of Management program tuition per
classroom course ranges from $2,100 to $2,225, depending on location. This represents an
expected weighted average increase of 2.1% as compared to the year-ago period. The price for
a graduate course taken online is $2,225, compared to $2,200 previously. |
Management believes the increased undergraduate total student enrollments were most
significantly impacted by DeVrys strong track record of high-quality education, academic and
graduate employment outcomes, and improved retention of existing students. Management believes the
decrease in undergraduate new student enrollments was the result of decreasing volume of high
quality inquiry flow, economic uncertainties, and overlapping high new student growth rates in
prior years. Management believes efforts to enhance the Keller Graduate School of Management
brand awareness through improved messaging have helped produce positive graduate enrollment
results.
Medical and Healthcare
Medical and Healthcare segment revenues increased 13.0% to $142.1 million in the second
quarter and grew 14.8% to $278.8 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as compared
to the respective year-ago periods. Higher student enrollments at Chamberlain College of Nursing
(Chamberlain) were a key driver of the segment revenue growth, which more than offset a decline
in new student enrollments at Ross University and Carrington Colleges Group, Inc. (Carrington).
Key trends for Ross University, Chamberlain and Carrington are set forth below.
Ross University total enrollment by term:
|
|

Tuition rates:
|
|
|
Effective September 2010, tuition and fees for the beginning basic sciences
portion of the programs at the Ross University medical and veterinary schools are $15,600
and $15,000, respectively, per semester. This tuition rate represents an increase from
September 2009 tuition rates of approximately 6.4% for the medical school and 4.3% for the
veterinary school. |
|
|
|
|
Effective September 2010, tuition and fees for the Ross University final
clinical portion of the programs are $17,125 per semester for the medical school, and
$18,850 per semester for the veterinary school. This represents and increase from September
2009 tuition rates of approximately 6.4% for the medical school and 4.4% for the veterinary
school. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation, and living
expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, tuition for the 2010-2011 academic year is $620 per credit
hour for students enrolled in Chamberlains BSN (onsite), ADN and LPN-to-RN programs.
Students enrolled on a full-time basis (between 12 and 17 credit hours) are charged a flat
tuition amount of $7,440 per semester. This represents an increase from 2009-2010 academic
year tuition rates of approximately 4.2%. These amounts do not include the cost of books,
supplies, transportation and living expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, tuition for students enrolled in Chamberlains RN-to-BSN
online degree program is $575 per credit hour. This tuition rate is unchanged from the
2009-2010 academic year. Tuition for the 2010-2011 academic year is $650 per credit |
26
|
|
|
hour for students enrolled in the online MSN program. These amounts do not include the cost of
books, supplies, transportation and living expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, on a per credit hour basis, tuition for Carrington College
and Carrington College California programs ranges from $347 per credit hour to $1,651 per
credit hour for non-general education courses, with the wide range due to the nature of the
programs. General Education courses are charged at $325 per credit hour at Carrington
College, and $364 per credit hour at Carrington College California. Student tuition is
reduced accordingly for any incoming academic credits that are applicable. Students are
charged a non-refundable registration fee ranging from $95 to $100, and they are also
charged separately for books and special (program specific) supplies and/or testing. A
student services fee ranging from $75 to $150 is charged at Carrington College as well,
depending on the program. |
An element of the growth strategy at Ross University School of Medicine was the development of
a clinical education center located in Freeport, Grand Bahama. The Freeport site was expected to
mitigate capacity constraints at the main campus in Dominica. However, the projected volume of
Ross students studying in Freeport has not been realized due to factors including an unforeseen
delay in the Medical Board of California licensing review process and caution on the part of
existing students considering Freeport. In November 2010, Ross University School of Medicine
secured licensing approval for its Freeport clinical location from the Medical Board of California.
It has been Ross understanding that medical students who attend the Freeport location would not
be eligible to receive Title IV financial aid while in Freeport, but would be eligible to receive
financial aid once they moved beyond their semesters in Freeport. However, the U.S. Department of
Education (USED) recently raised questions that could impact the overall financial aid
eligibility for new students who attend Freeport. While Ross is working through this issue with
the USED, it is also in the process of evaluating how to best leverage its Freeport location as
part of its overall expansion strategy.
Currently, Ross is not teaching medical basic sciences at its Freeport location. These
near-term challenges resulted in lower new student enrollments in both the May 2010 and September
2010 semesters, and management expects a slight decline in new student enrollments for the January
2011 semester.
Ross continues to invest in its Dominica facilities, programs and student services to meet the
strong demand for its medical program.
The increase in student enrollments at Chamberlain was largely attributable to its growing
RN-to-BSN online completion program. In addition, in July 2010 Chamberlain began offering its
nursing programs at two new locations in Arlington, Virginia and Chicago. All of these campuses
are co-located with DeVry University.
Management believes the decline in student enrollments at Carrington was the result of
overlapping high new student growth rates in the year-ago period, decreasing volume of high quality
inquiry flow, and economic uncertainties. In the near term, management expects that Carrington
student enrollments will continue to decline for the upcoming spring 2011 enrollment period. To
address this issue, Carrington is in the process of shifting its focus from brand awareness
associated with the recent name change to more direct response communications. Carrington is also
making additional investments in its website interface and admissions processes to better serve
prospective students.
Professional Education
Professional Education segment revenues increased 26.3% to $21.3 million in the second quarter
and rose 14.6% to $41.2 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the
respective year-ago periods as demand for Beckers CPA review courses improved. Management expects
Beckers revenue growth to moderate in the second half of fiscal year 2011 as demand for its CPA
line of products normalizes.
Other Educational Services
Other Educational Services segment revenues grew 0.9% to $17.3 million in the second quarter
and rose 2.7% to $29.2 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the
respective year-ago periods. Revenue growth at DeVry Brasil, driven by increasing student
enrollments, more than offset a decline in revenue at Advanced Academics. The revenue decline at
Advanced Academics was the result of lower summer school and fall enrollments as school districts
have reduced such programs driven by state budget constraints.
27
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of Educational Services
The largest component of Cost of Educational Services is the cost of employees who support
educational operations. This expense category also includes the costs of facilities, adjunct
faculty, supplies, bookstore and other educational materials, student education-related support
activities, and the provision for uncollectible student accounts.
DeVrys Cost of Educational Services increased 15.0% to $229.9 million during the second
quarter and grew 15.5% to $458.0 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as compared
to the respective year-ago periods. Cost increases were incurred in support of expanding DeVry
University online and onsite total student enrollments and operating a higher number of DeVry
University locations as compared to the prior year. Also, cost increases were incurred for the
operation of the new Chamberlain campuses in Chicago and Arlington, Virginia, which began offering
programs in July 2010, and to support growing online student enrollments. Cost increases were
incurred at Carrington associated with operating a higher number of locations as compared to the
prior year and increased hiring of career services employees. Expense attributed to stock-based
awards included in Cost of Educational Services increased during fiscal year 2011 as a result of an
increase in the number stock awards granted during the current year.
As a percent of revenue, Cost of Educational Services decreased to 41.7% in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2011 from 42.3% during the prior year period. For the first six months of fiscal
year 2011, Cost of Educational Services decreased to 42.7% from 43.8% during the prior year period.
These decreases were the combined result of increased operating leverage with existing facilities
and staff and revenue gains, which more than offset incremental investments to maintain the high
quality of DeVrys educational offerings and to drive future revenue growth.
Student Services and Administrative Expense
This expense category includes student admissions, marketing and advertising costs, general
and administrative costs, expenses associated with curriculum development, and the amortization
expense of finite-lived intangible assets related to acquisitions of businesses.
Student Services and Administrative Expense grew 13.3% to $186.0 million during the second
quarter and increased 15.1% to $367.5 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as
compared to the respective year-ago periods. The increase in expenses represented additional
investments in advertising and recruiting to drive and support future growth in new student
enrollments. In addition, cost increases were incurred in information technology and student
services. Expense attributed to stock-based awards included in Student Services and Administrative
Expense increased during fiscal year 2011 as a result of an increase in the number of stock awards
granted during the current year.
Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of businesses
decreased during both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to
the year-ago periods, as the respective student relationships and trade names from the Carrington
acquisition were fully amortized as of December 31, 2009. Amortization expense is included
entirely in the Student Services and Administrative Expense category.
As a percent of revenue, Student Services and Administrative Expense decreased to 33.7% in the
second quarter of fiscal year 2011 from 34.7% during the year-ago quarter. For the first six
months of fiscal year 2011, Student Services and Administrative Expense decreased to 34.3% from
35.3% in the year-ago period. These decreases were the combined result of increased operating
leverage from advertising and student recruiting costs, which more than offset incremental
investments in student services and home office support personnel.
OPERATING INCOME
Total consolidated operating income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 of $135.6
million increased 24.4% as compared to the prior year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal
year 2011, total consolidated operating income rose 31.4% to $247.4 million as compared to the
year-ago period. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, operating income increases at
DeVrys respective Business, Technology and Management and Professional Education segments more
than offset declines in operating income at DeVrys Medical and Healthcare and Other Educational
Services segments. For the first six months of fiscal year 2011, operating income increased at all
of DeVrys respective segments, with the exception of Other Educational Services segment.
28
Business, Technology and Management
Business, Technology and Management segment operating income increased 27.3% to $99.5 million
during the second quarter and grew 37.1% to $184.0 million during the first six months of fiscal
year 2011, as compared to the respective year-ago periods. These increases in operating income
were the result of higher revenue and an increase in operating leverage, while at the same time,
DeVry University continued to make investments in academic quality and student service to drive
future enrollment growth.
Medical and Healthcare
Medical and Healthcare segment operating income decreased 0.6% to $31.0 million during the
second quarter but increased 1.4% to $59.1 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2011
as compared to the respective prior year periods. The slight decrease in operating income during
the second quarter was the result of a decline in operating income at both Ross and Carrington and
an increase in home office expense allocation to the segment, which was partially offset by an
increase in operating income at Chamberlain. Ross University operating income declined slightly
due to lower new student enrollments, as discussed above, and investments to increase capacity.
Carrington operating income decreased as a result of lower new student enrollments and a higher
level of spending associated with new location openings, as compared to the year ago quarter. For
the first six months of fiscal year 2011, the increase in Medical and Healthcare segment operating
income was the result of higher revenues at Chamberlain and Ross, while at the same time, making
investments to expand capacity and drive future enrollment growth.
Professional Education
Professional Education segment operating income increased 102.8% to $6.6 million during the
second quarter and grew 33.8% to $13.0 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as
compared to the prior year periods. These increases in operating income were the result of higher
revenue and a significant increase in operating leverage.
Other Educational Services
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, Other Educational Services operating income
declined $0.6 million, or 79.0% to $0.1 million as compared to the year-ago quarter. For the first
six months of fiscal year 2011, Other Educational Services recorded an operating loss of $7.4
million as compared to an operating loss of $5.8 million for the year-ago period. The increases in
the operating losses were the result of a decline in revenue at Advanced Academics and increased
investments at both DeVry Brasil and Advanced Academics to drive future enrollment growth.
NET INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Interest income decreased 33.6%, to $0.4 million during the second quarter and declined 25.1%
to $0.8 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the respective prior
year periods. Despite an increase in invested cash balances as compared to the prior year periods,
interest income decreased because of lower interest rates earned on invested balances during the
second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2011. The increase in invested cash balances
was attributable to improved operating cash flow over the past twelve months partially offset by
cash used in connection with increased share repurchases, capital expenditures and debt repayment.
Interest expense decreased 51.7%, to $0.2 million during the second quarter and declined 46.2%
to $0.5 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the respective prior
year periods. These decreases in interest expense were attributable to the repayment of
outstanding borrowings under DeVrys revolving line of credit.
DeVry recorded net investment gains of $0.3 million and $1.1 million during the second quarter
and first six months of fiscal year 2010, respectively. These gains were the result of changes in
the valuation of DeVrys auction rate security portfolio and related put option. As of early July
2010, DeVry had fully liquidated its auction rate security portfolio at par value. There were no
investment gains in the current year periods.
INCOME TAXES
Taxes on income were 34.5% of pretax income for both the second quarter and first six months
of fiscal year 2011, compared to 33.6% for the second quarter and 32.9% for the first six months of
the prior year periods. The higher effective tax rates in fiscal year 2011 were attributable to a
greater proportion of pre-tax income being generated by U.S. operations versus the international
operations of Ross University in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year. Earnings
of Ross Universitys international operations are not subject to U.S. federal or state taxes and
also are exempt from income taxes in the jurisdictions in which the schools operate. The medical
and veterinary schools have agreements with their respective governments that exempt them from
local income taxation
29
through the years 2043 and 2023, respectively. DeVry intends to indefinitely reinvest Ross
University earnings and cash flow to improve and expand facilities and operations at the medical
and veterinary schools, and pursue other business opportunities outside the United States.
Accordingly, DeVry has not recorded a current provision for the payment of U.S. income taxes on
these earnings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
DeVrys primary source of liquidity is the cash received from payments for student tuition,
books, other educational materials and fees. These payments include funds originating as financial
aid from various federal, state and provincial loan and grant programs; student and family
educational loans (private loans); employer educational reimbursements; and student and family
financial resources. Private loans as a percent of DeVrys total revenue are relatively small.
In connection with the turmoil in the credit markets and economic downturn over the past two
years, some lenders changed or exited certain private loan programs. Also, certain lenders have
tightened underwriting criteria for private loans. To date, these actions have not had a material
impact on DeVrys students ability to access funds for their educational needs and thus its
enrollments. DeVry monitors the student lending situation very closely and continues to pursue all
available financing options for its students, including DeVrys institutional loan programs.
The following table summarizes DeVrys cash receipts from tuition and related fee payments by
fund source as a percentage of total revenue for the fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The pattern of cash receipts during the year is somewhat seasonal. DeVrys accounts receivable
peak immediately after bills are issued each session. Historically, accounts receivable reach their
lowest level at the end of each session, dropping to their lowest point during the year at the end
of June.
At December 31, 2010, total accounts receivable, net of related reserves, was $152.8 million,
compared to $135.2 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in net accounts receivable was
attributable to revenue growth across all four business segments as compared to the year-ago
period, partially offset by improved collections.
During fiscal year 2010, the source of the funding from student accounts, cash payments,
private scholarships, employer and military provided tuition assistance increased to 26% of DeVrys
total tuition revenues as compared to 21% in the prior year. The primary reason for this increase
was the full year impact of the financial results of DeVry Brasil in fiscal year 2010 as compared
to the three month impact in fiscal year 2009. DeVry Brasil students do not participate in the
Title IV program funding, resulting in a proportional increase in funding from student accounts and
cash payments as compared to fiscal year 2009.
Financial Aid
DeVry is highly dependent upon the timely receipt of federal financial aid funds. All
financial aid and assistance programs are subject to political and governmental budgetary
considerations. In the United States, the Higher Education Act (HEA) guides the federal
governments support of postsecondary education. If there are changes to financial aid programs
that restrict student eligibility or reduce funding levels, DeVrys financial condition and cash
flows could be materially and adversely affected. Please see Item 1A Risk Factors in DeVrys
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2010, for a discussion of student
financial aid related risks.
30
In addition, government-funded financial assistance programs are governed by extensive and
complex regulations in both the United States and Canada. Like any other educational institution,
DeVrys administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies
and is subject to audit or investigation by other governmental authorities. Any violation could be
the basis for penalties or other disciplinary action, including initiation of a suspension,
limitation or termination proceeding. Previous Department of Education and state regulatory agency
program reviews have not resulted in material findings or adjustments against DeVry.
A U.S. Department of Education regulation known as the 90/10 Rule affects only proprietary
postsecondary institutions, such as DeVry University, Ross University, Chamberlain, Carrington
College and Carrington College California. Under this regulation, an institution that derives more
than 90% of its revenues from federal financial assistance programs in any year may not participate
in these programs for the following year.
The following table details the percent of revenue from federal financial assistance programs
for each of DeVrys Title IV eligible institutions for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Under the terms of DeVrys participation in financial aid programs, certain cash received from
state governments and the U.S. Department of Education is maintained in restricted bank accounts.
DeVry receives these funds either after the financial aid authorization and disbursement process
for the benefit of the student is completed, or just prior to that authorization. Once the
authorization and disbursement process for a particular student is completed, the funds may be
transferred to unrestricted accounts and become available for DeVry to use in current operations.
This process generally occurs during the academic term for which such funds have been authorized.
At December 31, 2010, cash in the amount of $9.1 million was held in restricted bank accounts,
compared to $54.6 million at December 31, 2009. The primary reason for the decrease in cash held
in restricted bank accounts at December 31, 2010 as compared to December 31, 2009 was the timing of
cash received at Ross University in advance of the January 2010 term (which was received in
December 2009) relative to the current fiscal year in which such restricted cash was received in
January 2011 for the January 2011 term.
Cash from Operations
Cash generated from operations in the first six months of fiscal year 2011 was $273.9 million,
compared to $267.3 million in the prior year period. Cash flow from operations increased $35.1
million due to higher net income. Greater cash flow was also a result of an increase in deferred
tuition revenue of $24.4 million driven by increased total student enrollments, primarily at DeVry
University and Chamberlain. An increase in non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization and
stock-based compensation resulted in a $1.2 million greater source of cash. In addition, the timing
of the receipt of tuition payments and restricted cash in advance of DeVrys schools academic
sessions produced a $0.2 million increase in cash. These increases in operating cash flow were
partially offset by $51.0 million from a lower source of cash compared to the prior year for
changes in levels of prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Variations in the
levels of accrued and prepaid expenses and accounts payable from period to period are caused, in
part, by the timing of the period-end relative to DeVrys payroll and bill payment cycles. Also,
accounts receivable, net of related reserves, increased in the first six months of fiscal year
2011 and resulted in a $3.1 million use of cash. The increase in net accounts receivable was lower
than DeVrys revenue growth as a result of continued improvements in collections management.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal year 2011 were $53.7 million compared
to $61.6 million in the year-ago period. DeVry continues to invest capital to support Project
DELTA (implementation of a new student information system for DeVry
31
University and Chamberlain);
facility expansion at the Ross University medical and veterinary schools; spending for the new
Chamberlain campuses; new location openings and capacity expansion at Carrington; and facility
improvements at DeVry University. Management expects the rate of capital spending to increase in
the second half of fiscal year, and anticipates full year fiscal 2011 capital spending to be about
$150 million, and possibly a bit more, depending on the timing of project spending.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
During the first six months of fiscal year 2011, DeVry repurchased a total of 1,677,000 shares
of its stock, on the open market, for approximately $75.7 million. DeVry completed its third and
fourth share repurchases program during the first six months of fiscal year 2011. In late December
2010, DeVry commenced its fifth program, and as of December 31, 2010, the total remaining
authorization under this repurchase program was $48.9 million. The timing and amount of future
repurchases under this program will be determined by DeVry management based on its evaluation of
market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market,
including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will
be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings under its revolving credit agreement
and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Cash dividends paid during the first six months of fiscal year 2011 were $7.1 million.
DeVrys Board of Directors declared a dividend on November 10, 2010 of $0.12 per share to common
stockholders of record as of December 10, 2010. The total dividend of $8.3 million was paid on
January 10, 2011.
DeVry believes that it has sufficient liquidity despite the disruption in the credit markets
over the past two years. Management believes that current balances of unrestricted cash, cash
generated from operations and revolving loan facility will be sufficient to fund both DeVrys
current operations and growth plans, and current share repurchase program, for the foreseeable
future unless future significant investment opportunities, similar to the acquisition of
Carrington, should arise.
Other Contractual Arrangements
DeVrys long-term contractual obligations consist of its $175 million revolving credit
facility, operating leases on facilities and equipment, and agreements for various services. DeVry
has the option to expand the revolving credit facility to $275 million. At December 31, 2010, there
were no outstanding borrowings under DeVrys revolving credit agreement. DeVrys letters of credit
outstanding under the revolving credit facility were approximately $4.6 million as of December 31,
2010.
DeVry is not a party to any off-balance sheet financing or contingent payment arrangements,
nor are there any unconsolidated subsidiaries. DeVry has not extended any loans to any officer,
director or other affiliated person. DeVry has not entered into any synthetic leases, and there are
no residual purchase or value commitments related to any facility lease. DeVry did not enter into
any significant derivatives, swaps, futures contracts, calls, hedges or non-exchange traded
contracts during the first six months of fiscal year 2011. DeVry had no open derivative positions
at December 31, 2010.
DeVrys consolidated cash balances of $459.3 million at December 31, 2010, included
approximately $214.5 million of cash attributable to international operations. It is DeVrys
intention to indefinitely reinvest this cash and subsequent earnings and cash flow to improve and
expand facilities and operations of its international operations, including Ross University and
DeVry Brasil, and pursue future business opportunities outside the United States. Therefore, cash
held by DeVrys international operations will not be available for domestic general corporate
purposes on a long-term basis.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, the FASB issued and revised authoritative guidance for improving disclosure
on fair value measurements. This guidance requires reporting entities to provide information about
movements of assets among levels of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157
(ASC 820). The guidance is effective for DeVrys fiscal year 2011, and it should be used for
quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance did not have a significant impact on
DeVrys financial disclosures.
In July 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for improving disclosure on the credit
quality of financing receivables and allowances for credit losses. This guidance requires reporting
entities to provide information that will enable readers of financial statements to understand the
nature of credit risk in a companys financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed in
determining the related allowance for credit losses and changes to the allowance during the
reporting period. The guidance is effective for DeVrys second quarter of fiscal year 2011, and it
should be used for quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance is included in
Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.
32
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
DeVry is not dependent upon the price levels, nor affected by fluctuations in pricing, of any
particular commodity or group of commodities. However, more than 50% of DeVrys costs are in the
form of employee wages and benefits. Changes in employment market conditions or escalations in
employee benefit costs could cause DeVry to experience cost increases at levels beyond what it has
historically experienced.
The financial position and results of operations of Ross Universitys Caribbean operations are
measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Substantially all Ross University
financial transactions are denominated in the U.S. dollar.
The financial position and results of operations of DeVrys Canadian educational programs are
measured using the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. The Canadian operations have not
entered into any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than
the lease agreement on a teaching facility. DeVry does not have any foreign exchange contracts or
derivative financial instruments designed to mitigate changes in the value of the Canadian dollar.
Because Canada-based assets constitute less than 1.0% of DeVrys overall assets, and its Canadian
liabilities constitute approximately 4% of overall liabilities, changes in the value of Canadas
currency at rates experienced during the past several years are unlikely to have a material effect
on DeVrys results of operations or financial position. Based upon the current value of the net
assets in the Canadian operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the Canadian dollar relative
to the U.S. dollar would result in a translation adjustment of less than $100,000.
The financial position and results of operations of DeVrys investment in DeVry Brasil are
measured using the Brazilian Real as the functional currency. DeVry Brasil has not entered into
any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than the lease
agreements on teaching facilities and contingencies relating to prior acquisitions. Currently,
DeVry does not have any foreign exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments designed to
mitigate changes in the value of the Brazilian Real. Because Brazilian-based assets constitute
approximately 2.5% of DeVrys overall assets, and its Brazilian liabilities constitute less than
approximately 2.0% of overall liabilities, changes in the value of Brazils currency at rates
experienced during the past several years are unlikely to have a material effect on DeVrys results
of operations or financial position. Based upon the current value of the net assets in DeVry
Brasils operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S.
dollar would result in a translation adjustment of less than $1.0 million.
The interest rate on DeVrys debt is based upon LIBOR interest rates for periods typically
ranging from one to three months. For borrowings of $50.0 million a 100 basis point increase in
short-term interest rates would result in approximately $0.5 million of additional annual interest
expense. At December 31, 2010, DeVry had no outstanding borrowings. However, future investment
opportunities and cash flow generated from operations may affect the level of outstanding
borrowings and the effect of a change in interest rates.
DeVrys customers are principally individual students enrolled in its various educational
programs. Accordingly, concentration of accounts receivable credit risk is small relative to total
revenues or accounts receivable.
DeVrys cash is held in accounts at various large, financially secure depository institutions.
Although the amount on deposit at a given institution typically will exceed amounts subject to
guarantee, DeVry has not experienced any deposit losses to date, nor does management expect to
incur such losses in the future.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer Certificates
The required compliance certificates signed by the DeVrys CEO and CFO are included as
Exhibits 31 and 32 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to help ensure that all the information
required to be disclosed in DeVrys reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the applicable rules and forms.
33
DeVrys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their
evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that DeVrys disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that DeVry files or submits under the Exchange
Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to
DeVrys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
second quarter of fiscal year 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, DeVrys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II Other Information
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
DeVry is subject to occasional lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and
investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other claims arising in the normal
conduct of its business. The following is a description of pending litigation that may be
considered other than ordinary and routine litigation that is incidental to the business.
The Boca Raton Firefighters and Police Pension Fund filed a complaint (the Shareholder
Case) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on November 1,
2010 (Case No. 1:10-cv-07031). The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who
purchased DeVry common stock between October 25, 2007, and August 13, 2010. The plaintiffs claim
DeVry, Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst and David J. Pauldine violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated there under by failing to
disclose abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending practices, thereby increasing
DeVrys student enrollment and revenues and artificially inflating DeVrys stock price during the
class period. DeVry and its executives believe the allegations contained in the complaint are
without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.
Two derivative cases similar to the Shareholder Case also were filed in the Circuit Court of
Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division: DeVry shareholder Timothy Hald filed a derivative
complaint on behalf of DeVry on January 3, 2011 (Hald v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0087) and
Matthew Green (also a DeVry shareholder) filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry on January
7, 2011 (Green v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0770) (Derivative Actions). The Derivative
Actions allege that Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst, David J. Pauldine, Sharon T. Parrott,
Ronald L. Taylor, Lisa W. Pickrum, Darren R. Huston, David S. Brown, William T. Keevan, Fernando
Ruiz, Harold D. Shapiro, Lyle Logan, and Julia McGee breached their fiduciary duties to DeVry by
failing to disclose the same allegedly abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending
practices alleged in the Shareholder Case. The Derivative Actions also allege that DeVrys officers
and directors unjustly enriched themselves and wasted DeVrys assets by (i) causing DeVry to incur
substantial costs in defending the Shareholder Case; (ii) causing DeVry to pay compensation and
benefits to individuals who breached their fiduciary duties; (iii) causing potential losses from
certain of DeVrys programs no longer being eligible for federal financial aid; and (iv) damaging
DeVrys corporate image and goodwill. DeVry and its executives believe the allegations contained
in the derivative complaints are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.
Although DeVry believes that the Shareholder Case and the Derivative Actions are without
merit, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and other proceedings, reviews, investigations
and contingencies is difficult to predict. At this time, DeVry does not expect that the outcome of
any such matter will have a material effect on its cash flows, results of operations or financial
position.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report and the risk factor described
below, the factors discussed in Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors in DeVrys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, which could materially affect DeVrys business,
financial condition or future results, should be carefully considered. Such risks are not the only
risks facing DeVry. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to DeVry or that
management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business,
financial condition and/or operating results.
U.S. Department of Education (USED) rulemaking could result in regulatory changes that could
have a material adverse effect on DeVrys student enrollment and financial results.
34
On October 28, 2010, the USED issued final regulations with respect to program integrity
issues for postsecondary education institutions participating in Title IV programs, which will
take effect on July 1, 2011. The USED expects to issue final rules in early 2011 related to the
definition of gainful employment, which are expected to take effect on July 1, 2012. DeVry is in
the process of reviewing the final regulations but does not anticipate making material changes to
its operations in order to comply with the final regulations that were issued on October 28, 2010.
At this time, DeVry cannot be certain what requirements may be included in final regulations
relating to gainful employment. Accordingly, DeVry cannot project how any new requirements may
affect the eligibility of DeVrys U.S. degree granting institutions to participate in the Title IV
Programs, their ability to comply with revised Title IV Program regulations, or the potential
impact of any changes on students or their ability to finance their educations. Uncertainty
surrounding the final rules, interpretive regulations or guidance by the USED may continue for
some period of time and may adversely affect DeVrys business. The outcome of the final rules
related to the definition of gainful employment could have a material adverse effect on DeVrys
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
