Trevecca Nazarene University

Since 1901, Trevecca Nazarene University has been dedicated to serving both the spiritual and intellectual needs of its students. All of the university's undergraduate and graduate programs integrate faith with liberal arts education, allowing students to deepen their relationship with Christ while they explore areas of study such as cybersecurity and digital forensics, game design and development, creative writing, and clinical mental health counseling. Twenty degrees at Trevecca are available online in an asynchronous format, meaning students can complete their coursework at whatever time best fits their schedule. Online students take one class at a time and advance through their program alongside a cohort of fellow distance learners, helping to replicate the structure and support of on-campus programs. Undergraduate applicants must submit high school transcripts and ACT or SAT scores. While Trevecca awards several scholarships to incoming students on the basis of academic achievement, leadership potential, and diversity, these funds are not available to students applying to online programs.

graduated out of all full-time, first-time students who began their
