Foundational Knowledge


Davenport University’s College of Business graduate programs assume incoming students possess foundational business knowledge acquired through either prior academic coursework or professional experience. For students lacking or seeking to refresh their skills in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and Quantitative Research/Statistics, the university encourages the completion of the optional, self-paced Academic Leveling Modules.

The Graduate Admissions Director will advise admitted students on potentially beneficial modules during the admissions process.  While these modules are recommended to address potential knowledge gaps, their completion is not mandatory for program progression. The modules serve as a resource to enhance preparedness for the rigor of the graduate curriculum.
