(BPT) - High school graduation is a milestone worth celebrating — but for 73 students at DeVry University Advantage Academy (DUAA), this year's ceremony marked two academic achievements. In addition to their high school diplomas, 38 students earned associate degrees in information technology and networking and 35 earned associate degrees in business management — with the vast majority completing their degrees before turning 19.
"Graduating with both my high school diploma and associate degree was a really big personal accomplishment," said 2025 DUAA graduate Ben Bednar. "The work and greater expectations of our college classes pushed me to realize that I just enjoy learning and DeVry further refined my personal ambitions for the future."
