Trevecca Nazarene University is a Christian community providing education for leadership and service.
Trevecca Nazarene University (TNU) is a private Christian liberal arts college located in Nashville, Tennessee.
As one of eight U.S. liberal arts colleges and universities affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene, TNU is the college for the "Southeast Region" of the United States. In terms of the Church of the Nazarene, the "Southeast Region" comprises the Kentucky, Tennessee, East Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama North, Alabama South, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, North Florida, Central Florida, and Southern Florida districts, which include Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and part of Kentucky. Each college receives financial backing from the Nazarene churches on its region; part of each church budget is paid into a fund for its regional school. Each college or university is also bound by a gentlemen's agreement not to actively recruit outside its respective "educational region."
Trevecca was founded in 1901 by J. O. McClurkan as the Literary and Bible Training School for Christian Workers. The school's name was changed to Trevecca College in 1911, taken from a Welsh school established in 1768 during the Wesleyan revival. The school was originally located in downtown Nashville, on the current site of the historic Ryman Auditorium.
In 1914, the campus was moved to East Nashville on Gallatin Road and by 1917 the school became an official college of the Church of the Nazarene. In 1935, the college was moved to its present location on Murfreesboro Road in southeast Nashville.
It was first accredited in 1969 and began offering master's degrees in 1984. In 1995, the school's name was changed to Trevecca Nazarene University. Trevecca started its doctorate program in 2000.
