Foundational Knowledge Bilingual:


Los programas de posgrado de la Facultad de Negocios de la Universidad Davenport asumen que los estudiantes que ingresan poseen conocimientos empresariales básicos adquiridos a través de cursos académicos previos o experiencia profesional. Para los estudiantes que carecen o buscan actualizar sus habilidades en Contabilidad, Finanzas e Investigación Cuantitativa/Estadística, la universidad ofrece módulos de nivelación académica Peregrine opcionales, a su propio ritmo y de bajo costo.
El Director de Admisiones de Posgrado asesorará a los estudiantes admitidos sobre los módulos potencialmente beneficiosos durante el proceso de admisión. Si bien estos módulos se recomiendan para abordar posibles lagunas de conocimiento, su finalización no es obligatoria para avanzar en el programa. Los módulos sirven como un recurso para mejorar la preparación para el rigor del plan de estudios de posgrado.

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.
