                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
              For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended March 31, 1999
 
                                   ----------
 
 
    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, 1998 and in conjunction
         with the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters
         ended September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998, each as filed
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
         The results of operations for the nine months ended
         March 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of results
         to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
 
         Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to
         conform to the current presentation format.
 
    2.   In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130").
         SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
         comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements.
         The components of comprehensive income, other than those included in
         net income, were immaterial for the quarter and nine months ended
         March 31, 1999.
 
    3.   In July and August 1998, the Company granted options to
         purchase up to 597,000 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.
 
 
    4    In April 1999, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire
         for stock Educational Development Corporation which does business
         as the Denver Technical College.  The acquisition is contingent upon
         satisfactory completion of due diligence.

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

Certain information contained in this quarterly report may constitute forward
looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements may involve risks
and uncertainty that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements.  Potential risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to, dependence on student financial aid, state and provincial
approval and licensing requirements, and the other factors detailed in the
Company's SEC filings, including those discussed under the heading entitled
"Risk Factors" in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3
(No. 333-22457) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 as included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  All references to per share
amounts have been restated to reflect the December 18, 1996, and June 19, 1998,
two-for-one stock splits.

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.  Because of 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 $15.3 million, or nearly
18.4%.  For the first nine months, the increase in tuition revenues was nearly
$42.9 million, or 18.1%.  These increases in tuition revenue were produced by
several positive factors.  Enrollment for the DeVry Institutes for the spring
term, which began in March, increased by 12.2% from last spring.  This increase
included the enrollments of new Institute openings in Fremont, California, in
July and New York in November.  The increased enrollment represents the
twenty-sixth consecutive term of increased total student enrollment compared
to the comparable year-ago period.

At Keller Graduate School, enrollment for the term which began in February
increased by more than 14.7% from last February.  Compared to February of
last year, Keller conducted classes in 6 new sites, bringing the total to 31,
including the distance education program.  In addition, tuition increases of
approximately 5-6% were implemented by both DeVry Institutes and Keller
Graduate School during the past year.  A somewhat smaller tuition increase
was implemented at Becker CPA Review.

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, which are included in this revenue category, continued to increase
from the prior year.

<PAGE>9
Interest income on the Company's short-term investments decreased from the
third quarter and year-to-date level of the prior year.  During most of these
periods, cash balances were lower than they were last year as cash was used
early in the fiscal year to eliminate all remaining debt and throughout the
year-to-date for increased capital spending on new and improved facilities
and equipment.

Cost of Educational Services increased by $12.6 million, or 24.6% from the
third quarter of last year.  For the first nine months, the increase in these
costs was $29.4 million, or nearly 19.7%.  The rate of increase, which
accelerated in the third quarter, reflects the cost of additional facilities,
faculty and staff associated with the six new Keller Graduate School sites and
the new DeVry Institutes in Fremont, California, and New York, all of which
have been opened in the past year.  In addition, there were higher wage,
benefit, supply and service expenses associated with the higher student
enrollments at the previously opened DeVry Institutes, Keller Graduate School
and Becker CPA Review sites.

Depreciation expense, included in the Cost of Educational Services, continues
to increase as capital spending on new and improved facilities has accelerated.
For the first nine months, depreciation expense has increased by $2.8 million,
or 32.5% from last year.

The provision for tuition refunds and doubtful accounts continues to increase
at a lower rate than tuition revenue. For the nine months, this expense has
increased by 15.9%.  The Company believes that this rate of increase, below
the rate at which tuition revenue is growing, reflects the benefits of
improved student retention from continuing efforts to raise new student
admission standards at DeVry Institutes and provide improved educational
support throughout all of the Company's educational programs.

Student Services and Administrative Expense increased by only $1.7 million, or
6.1% from last year.  For the first nine months , however, these expenses
increased by $10.5 million, or 13.9%.  The increased expense primarily reflects
the marketing costs associated with student recruitment for both the Company's
newly opened operating locations and the marketing costs associated with
recruiting increased numbers of students at the previously opened locations.
The third quarter of last year included pre-opening marketing expenses for
both of the DeVry Institute campuses opened this fiscal year, and so the
comparative increase in spending from last year's third quarter is not as
large as it might have otherwise been.

Administrative expenses are also increasing to support the Company's expanding
operations.  These administrative expenses include efforts related to what is
commonly referred to as the Y2K problem.  In mid-1997, the Company initiated
a project to determine the magnitude of our exposure from our own systems and
from those of our significant business partners.  Through our audit, testing
and remediation project, we have identified and evaluated the readiness of our
IT systems and non-IT systems, which, if not Y2K compliant, could have a
material effect on the Company.

The review and testing of all internal IT systems has been completed and those
systems have been made Y2K compliant through change or replacement.  An
inventory of PC hardware/software has been completed and a plan has been
developed to replace any non-compliant hardware prior to the end of this
calendar year.  Software vendors have been contacted and are being tracked for
follow-up.  An upgrade or replacement plan is being developed for this
software.


<PAGE>10
Non-IT vendors have also been identified and contacted for upgrade or
replacement as necessary, with particular emphasis on Mission Critical vendors.

In addition, the Company is developing contingency plans in the event that we
experience any Y2K difficulty at our various operating locations.  While our
efforts in the Y2K endeavor have been extensive, incremental spending on these
efforts, which is being charged to expense as incurred, has not been material
relative to the overall level of expense or revenues in any period.

The Company's earnings from operations, before interest and taxes, were a
record for any third quarter and nine month period.  

Interest expense has been almost completely eliminated as all remaining debt
was repaid during the first quarter of the current fiscal year.  Continuing
interest expense reflects the commitment and administrative fees associated
with the Company's revolving line of credit.

Net income of $10.6 million, or $0.15 per share for the third quarter,
increased by more than 25% from last year.  Similarly, for the nine months,
net income and earnings per share reflect the Company's continuing year over
year growth.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash generated from operations totaled nearly $64.7 million in the first nine
months, an increase of nearly $13.5 million from last year.  Higher net income
plus the increase in non-cash charges included in income for depreciation,
amortization and deferred tuition revenue all contributed to the increased cash
flow.  Although accounts receivable increased, the percent increase from last
year was less than the rate of increase in revenues.  This lesser rate of
growth in student receivables occurred even as new student enrollment, with
their typically higher average level of receivables, continues to increase.

Capital spending was more than $29.4 million in the first nine months, an
increase of more than $12.1 million from last year.  Completion of the
Fremont, California, and New York DeVry Institutes, construction of the third
Los Angeles area DeVry campus plus the purchase of land for the third Chicago-
area campus all contributed to the increased spending.  In addition,
construction continues on the expansion of the urban Chicago DeVry campus and
on the renovation and expansion of the Columbus DeVry campus.

During the first quarter, the Company completely repaid all of its outstanding
revolving loan facility using existing cash balances and cash generated from
operations.  Future borrowings, if any, will be based upon the Company's
seasonal cash flow cycle and payment requirements for capital spending and
other needs.

The Company is substantially dependent, as is most of the higher education
community, upon the timely delivery of federal and state financial aid for its
students.  Most financial aid application and disbursement activity is
processed electronically.  If the disbursement system of federal and/or
state governmental agencies and the 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 liquidity and


<PAGE>11
financial position.  The Company could use its available cash resources and
borrowings under its revolving term loan agreement to temporarily fund its
operations until such student financial aid disbursements were restored.

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.
