Is there a difference between devry university and the institute of technology?

Yes, DeVry University and the Institute of Technology are distinct entities, though the relationship is complex because DeVry University *has* Institutes of Technology within its structure. It's not a simple "one versus the other" situation.

* DeVry University: This is a for-profit university offering a range of undergraduate and graduate programs in areas like technology, business, and healthcare. It's a larger, overarching institution.

* Institutes of Technology (within DeVry): These are essentially specialized schools or colleges *within* DeVry University, often focusing on specific technology areas like engineering or computer science. They're not independent institutions. Think of them as departments or colleges within the larger DeVry University system. The curriculum and degrees offered at an "Institute of Technology" would still be granted by DeVry University.

So, you wouldn't apply to "an Institute of Technology" separately. You'd apply to DeVry University and potentially choose a program offered through one of its Institutes of Technology. They are parts of a whole.
