Also, you asked about languages. Programming languages are just tools. Learning to be a software developer is a whole lot more than learning how to use the tools. I am not familiar with DeVry's curriculum, but I expect if they are giving out a "Bachelor of Science", the curriculum would include the same theory set as a degree from a University.
This is 10000% correct, I am currently working as a Junior Developer and they really dont care much about what language you know but how to use it and what the proper way of doing things are. At MRC they teach you correct ways of doing things rather then just focusing on the language, like I said before Devry might do that as well but if you have any questions about the MRC degree you can shoot me a PM.
