    1.   The interim consolidated financial statements include the
         accounts of DeVry Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-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 the Company.
 
         The interim consolidated financial statements should be read
         in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
         notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on
         Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 and in
         conjunction with the Company's Quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
         for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1997,
         each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
         The results of operations for the three months and nine months
         ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of
         results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
 
    2.   In July and August 1997, the Company granted options to
         purchase up to 129,800 shares of the Company's common stock
         under the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan, the 1991
         Stock Incentive Plan and the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
         Financial Condition

The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and financial
condition should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto.  All references to per share
amounts have been restated to reflect the December 18, 1996, two-for-one
stock split.

Because of the somewhat seasonal pattern of the Company's enrollments and its
term starting dates, which affect the results of operations and the timing of
cash inflows, the Company 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 period in the
preceding year.  Due to the seasonality of student enrollments, the Company's
second and third quarters have historically represented the periods of highest
revenues and net income within a fiscal year.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Tuition revenues for the third quarter increased by $10.4 million, or 14.2%.
For the first nine months, the increase in tuition revenues was $28.5 million,
or 13.7%.  These increases in tuition revenue were produced by several positive
factors.  Enrollment at the DeVry Institutes for the fall term, which began
in November increased by 9.0% from last summer.  For the spring term at the
DeVry Institutes, which began in March, enrollments increased by 12.0%.
These increases in enrollments represented the twenty-first and twenty-second
consecutive terms of higher total student enrollment as compared to the
corresponding prior year period.  Contributing to the increased enrollment at
DeVry was the opening of its fifteenth Institute in Alpharetta, Georgia, for
the summer term.  Enrollments at Keller Graduate School for the term which
began in February increased by over 19%.  During the first nine months of
fiscal 1998, Keller began offering classes at four new teaching centers,
bringing the total to 24.  In addition, tuition increases of approximately
five percent were implemented at DeVry and Keller while a somewhat smaller
increase was implemented at Becker CPA.

Other educational revenues, composed primarily of sales of books and supplies,
increased because of sales to the increased number of students attending the
Company's educational programs.  Sales of the Becker CPA Review course on
CD-ROM are also included in the other educational revenue category.

Interest income on the Company's short-term investments increased in the third
quarter and first nine months as a strong pace of student receivable
collections provided more cash available for investment than in the previous
year.

Cost of Educational Services increased by $4.3 million, or 9.1% from the third
quarter of last year.  For the first nine months, the increase in cost was
$12.8 million, or 9.4%.  The increase reflects the cost of additional
facilities, faculty and staff associated with the new DeVry Institute and
Keller Graduate School centers.  In addition, there were higher costs
associated with the higher enrollments at the previously existing DeVry,
Keller and Becker operations.  The provision for refunds and doubtful accounts
has declined from the level of that expense realized last year.
 
<PAGE>9        

The Company believes that the reduction, which began in the second quarter,
reflects the results from its continuing efforts to raise new student
admission standards and provide expanded academic services to students needing
additional help with their educational program.  Depreciation expense increased
by over $1.7 million in the first nine months, reflecting continued investment
for expansion and upgrading of school laboratories and teaching equipment
throughout the Company.

Student Services and Administrative Expense increased by approximately 20%
from the third quarter and first nine months of last year.  The increase
primarily reflects the marketing costs associated with student recruitment for
the Company's newly opened operating locations and the costs associated with
generating higher student enrollments at the previously opened locations.
Student recruiting expenses are also being incurred for the planned July 1998
opening of the new DeVry Institute in Fremont, California, and the planned
November 1998 opening of the DeVry Institute in New York City.  Administrative
expenses have also increased from the prior year to support the Company's
expanding operations.  In addition, implementation efforts and spending
are continuing for the Company's new financial systems.  This new system will
enhance financial controls, reporting and analysis and overcome year 2000
deficiencies in the current system.  Additionally, efforts are underway to
address the year 2000 processing requirements for all of the Company's
hardware and software, whether internally developed or purchased.  Costs
associated with this effort are not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations and are being charged to expense as incurred.

The Company's earnings from operations, before interest expense and taxes,
were a record for the third quarter and nine months.  Operating margins, which
have been increasing consistently each quarter over the comparable year-ago
period, increased again in the third quarter to 15.2% from 13.9% last year.
For the nine months, operating margins reached 14.7% compared to 13.9% for
the same period last year.  The improved operating margins reflect favorable
leverage on the expanded student enrollments and continued cost control.

Interest expense, for both the quarter and nine months, has decreased
substantially from the previous year.  The lower interest expense results from
the application of the net proceeds from the April 1997 stock offering to debt
reduction and from the continued strong cash flow from operations, in excess
of needs for expansion and other investment, which is also being applied to
debt reduction.  Compared to March 31st of last year, debt has been reduced by
$35 million.

Net income of $8.4 million for the quarter and $23.1 million for the nine
months has increased by more than 25% from the same periods last year.
Diluted earnings per share for both periods has increased by more than by 20%,
including the effect of the higher number of shares outstanding after the
April 1997 stock offering.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash generated from operations in the first nine months increased by nearly
$17 million, or 50%, from the first nine months of last year.  The higher
level of cash generated reflects the higher net income, higher non-cash charges
for depreciation and the increased accounts payable and accrued expenses
associated with increased operating levels.

 
<PAGE>10

For the nine months, total reductions in the Company's long-term debt equaled
$27 million, up $6.5 million from last year.  Future borrowings and/or
repayments will be based upon the Company's seasonal cash flow cycle and
payment requirements for construction of new facilities and other capital
spending.

Capital spending remains high with construction of the Fremont, California,
campus nearing completion and continued investments in technology and other
improvements throughout all the Company's operations.  For the first nine
months, total capital expenditures were $17.3 million, up $7.9 million from
last year.  The level of capital spending is expected to remain high.  As
construction of the Fremont campus winds down, furniture and laboratory
equipment are being received.  Also, work is beginning on the improvements
to the leased New York City campus.

The Company is substantially dependent, as is most of the higher education
community, upon the continued delivery of federal and state financial aid
for its students.  Most financial aid application and disbursement is
processed electronically.  If the disbursement systems of federal and/or
state government units and commercial banks that participate in student
loan programs are not prepared for the year 2000, there could be interruptions
or delays in the receipt of these aid funds, which could have at least a
temporary adverse effect upon the Company's financial position.

The Company believes that current balances of unrestricted cash, cash
generated from operations and, if needed, its revolving loan facility will be
sufficient to fund its operating needs and capital spending plans for the
foreseeable future.
