When it really comes down to it, they want to see your work. If you want to break into the gaming industry most of the AAA industries require C++ not Java, not AS3, etc... They don't say show me your examples made in Unity3D or UDK, those are just bonus knowledge they would like to see. But at the same time if you don't want to limit yourself to one market it is best to learn more. There are going to be more software jobs available than gaming jobs, also gaming companies don't just hire because they have a position open. Bungie has had the same positions (with an exception of a few) listed for hiring for over 8 months now. Economy is making companies be a little more picky then they probably would normally or they just can afford to be this picky, either way. Although I think a CS degree is looked at as more prestigious, a good gaming college is Digipen. Also did you make sure Devry was an accredited school before attending, that is an important feature.
In the end job source is important, for 4 months I have been applying at jobs via 3rd party sites and some straight off there company website, I have gotten zero responses. I paid a fee to be apart of the job posting board at a university near me, since I am not a student I had to pay. It hasn't even been a week and I have heard back from 3 of the 25 companies I applied at. One wanted me to solve a programming problem in my most comfortable language, the other needs me to be a student still, which I can take a course and than they will call me in for an interview. The last one is for a company building designing software and they requested to see a few coding samples of mine. I have a Bachelor of Science Game Software Development degree from an accredited school, the market is highly competitive to begin with having zero experience makes it that much harder. Those are my 2 cents, and coming from someone with a specified degree. More and more schools are offering a specified degree such as Software or Game development it is only a matter of time they are going to want someone who has focused skills more than someone with a general computer knowledge degree. I don't know about Devry but my school degree was a well rounded degree, with many off topic classes, but useful in the job market.
EDIT** Also I know it might be hard to pull off, but look into internships while you are still in school. Get that experience under your belt before school is done with. It will be that much easier in the end. That was my biggest mistake I find that internships want you to be still attending school and I am all done.
Yes, DeVry is an accredited school, but I still believe that it isn't looked upon like normal Universities and CS degrees. Anyway, I am looking into getting an internship as soon as I can. Most of the internships in my area require that I am in school and that I have a year of experience with C++. I actually only have six months (ish) experience even though I'm about a year through the program. So as soon as I hit that one year mark, or as soon as I feel confident that I would be at the level of a programmer with a year of experience, I will be applying for those. Microsoft is close to my place and has a software engineer internship thats focus is programming, for example.
I'm unsure about whether or not I'll dive into other languages at this time. I am using C# for my Unity project, but that is mostly scripting. I suppose that counts though. I also looked into ActionScript this morning and it seems easy enough.
