OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
DeVry Inc. (NYSE: DV), a global provider of educational services,
is one of America's most trustworthy companies according to the newly
released Audit Integrity Top 100 of 2008.

   The Audit Integrity Top 100 is an annual salute to the best U.S.
companies from an independent research firm that rates more than 9,000
publicly traded firms for corporate integrity. The list recognizes
corporations that displayed excellence in transparent financial
reporting and conservative corporate governance during 2007.

   The results of Audit Integrity's analysis are featured by
Forbes.com (www.Forbes.com) in an article posted March 27.

   Audit Integrity ratings are based on its flagship Accounting and
Governance Risk (AGR(R)) analysis, incorporating financial and
non-financial measures designed originally to monitor the factors
associated with fraud or financial misrepresentation. According to
Audit Integrity's report, high AGR ratings have been reliable
predictors of above-market equity performance, while low ratings have
been associated with financial restatement, shareholder litigation and
equity risk. The Audit Integrity Top 100 report may be obtained at
www.auditintegrity.com.

   "As the impact of the subprime meltdown continues to unwind on
both Wall Street and the economy, the business of Audit Integrity
remains focused on warning subscribers about high-risk companies.
However, we believe it is equally important and necessary during these
turbulent times to recognize those companies operating on a superior
level of integrity," said Jack Zwingli, Chief Executive Officer of
Audit Integrity, Inc. "DeVry Inc. was named to the 2008 Audit
Integrity Top 100 list for displaying a high level of transparency in
accounting and strong, conservative corporate governance practices.
For this reason, Audit Integrity salutes the performance of DeVry Inc.
in these areas over the past year."
