Answer:

For students who prefer a hybrid approach to education where they can take classes online and at a campus, DeVry University is better. However, in terms of tuition costs, the University of Phoenix is better. Both DeVry and Phoenix charge based on cost per credit. A typical program at Phoenix cost $398 per credit while at DeVry it is $514 per credit. The tuition per cost at Phoenix is $1,194 while at DeVry it is $1,028 to $2,056. Another reason why Phoenix is better than DeVry, is due to the minimum number of fees to pay. Phoenix has one fee per course while DeVry has multiple fees that one has to pay. The tuition is guaranteed at Phoenix but this is not the case for DeVry. The length of the program in terms of credits is slightly longer at DeVry with 124 and at Phoenix it is 120. The length of the courses in terms of weeks is much shorter at Phoenix which is five weeks. At DeVry, the length of weeks for one course is eight. So Phoenix for these reasons is better than DeVry.
