# Covista

> Covista is the Chicago-based higher-education company - formerly DeVry, then Adtalem Global Education - that has reshaped itself into what it calls America's largest healthcare educator. Trading on the NYSE as CVSA since February 2026, it runs five accredited institutions: Chamberlain University, Walden University, Ross University School of Medicine, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, and American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. Together they teach about 97,000 students, graduate roughly 24,000 healthcare professionals a year, and count around 385,000 alumni. Covista's pitch is simple: the U.S. cannot hire its way out of a clinician shortage, so it has to educate its way out - and Covista wants to be the pipeline.
