Approved Degree Majors
A degree major at Trevecca Nazarene University is a prescribed coursework plan within a broader curricular area (e.g., Religious Studies Major in the curricular area of Religion and Philosophy). Majors offer students an opportunity to focus their learning on theories, skills, and applications relevant to their course of study and the broad curricular area from which the major is offered. The Undergraduate Curriculum Chart provides a list of majors and minors offered. Specific requirements for a major are listed under each department in this Catalog. Four-year Plans are available on the Office of Academic Records internal webpage at my.trevecca.edu.
A number of majors offer a Major Core—courses required by all students in the major—and further require a choice from a list of concentrations, professional minors, minors, tracks, or electives from courses offered in the major area. Some majors require support courses—an additional set of courses which provide necessary skills for the majors. Majors that require students to choose a concentration or professional minor are identified as separate majors/programs (e.g., the Business Administration major has nine concentrations to choose from, resulting in nine individual majors/programs). Elective tracks and required supporting courses, however, fit within a major but do not form additional or separate majors/programs. An academic program at Trevecca Nazarene University, therefore, is defined as A) a standalone major, B) a major/concentration, or C) a major/professional minor at any degree level (certificate, associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, specialist, and doctorate).
