Library

The library at DeVry Houston is technology and business-oriented along with humanities and social sciences resources to meet the needs of students anytime, anywhere.

Things to Know:

METRO TRACK is available for Houston Metro students. Need ready reference information on a class assignment or worried about how to build study habits? This intuitive site looks like a train or bus schedule. Choose your college, choose your class, choose your resource assignment. Follow the track. It is that simple and both student and faculty feedback has been strong and upbeat. For a faster and smoother research experience, take Metro Track.

Note: Some tracks are being reconstructed while we assemble Metro Track 2.0 We did not want to close the site entirely during this transition. Although most tracks are still available, some of these may experience temporary closure. The HIT and CIS tracks will be completed by the end of October.
