Flexible and affordable degrees

Davenport understands working adults lead busy lives. Balancing a career with furthering your education is easier at Davenport through evening classes, six start dates each year, and both 7-week and 15-week semesters. Many professional development courses can even be taken in a self-service format.

We also recognize students often bring extensive experience to college courses. Therefore, we offer the Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) program through which students can earn college credit for valuable experience. Whether it’s through transfer college credits, previous work experience, military service, on-the-job training or community participation, CPL can save you time — and money — in the pursuit of a college degree. Turning experience into credits is easier with Davenport.  

*Scholarship can be applied to most undergraduate and graduate programs with the exception of Occupational Therapy. Scholarship is prorated by credit and renewable for up to 22 credit hours per academic year. Tuition scholarships are available to new students who have not taken for-credit courses within the prior 24 months. This scholarship is available to new students starting courses on or after 7/6/22. Students are admitted as regular Davenport University students. Your scholarship will appear as either “Corp Education Scholarship” or “DU Tuition Grant” on your financial aid award(s).
