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.

History

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.
