A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT
Every great story begins somewhere. For many of our graduates, the choice to attend Trevecca Nazarene University was the starting point
of their great story. It was here that their passion for a life of service caught fire. It was here that a mentoring relationship with a professor
began. It was here that academic excellence became a priority. It was here that a circle of best friends formed. It was here that the needs of
the world came into view. It was here that a genuine walk with God became a reality.
Trevecca is much more than a place where you can earn a diploma. It is a chapter in your life that could be the beginning of all you hoped
for yourself. My joy would be to hand you a diploma in four years, to see a smile on your face, and to know that your life will be a gift to a
needy world.
Great stories begin here.
With profound hopes for you,
Dan Boone, President
TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY
Trevecca Nazarene University is a comprehensive institution of
higher education located in Nashville, Tennessee. The University
offers eighty-three baccalaureate and thirteen associate degree
majors through ten academic departments and five schools.
Master's degrees are awarded in religion, education, management,
business administration, physician assistant, library and information
science, organizational leadership, and counseling. An education
specialist degree is also awarded as well as doctorates in leadership
and clinical counseling. While Trevecca reaffirms its primary goal
of educating recent high school graduates, it has also recognized
and assumed responsibility for providing innovative undergraduate
and graduate programs for adults.
Trevecca's distinctiveness is that of being a holiness institution of
higher education which presents a Christian interpretation of truth.
While the nature of the University has changed some over the
years, its mission to provide quality Christian-centered education,
with an emphasis on the integration of faith and learning, has been
maintained. The name “university” is especially appropriate for any
institution that clearly focuses on this mission.
There are several elements that are key to Trevecca's character:
First, teaching is the University's primary responsibility. While
some faculty are increasingly engaged in research, writing, and
service projects, their greatest task is to teach.
Second, the focus is on a strong liberal arts preparation and a
viable general education curriculum. Today, most graduate schools
and employers are calling for a more general and liberally educated
graduate. Trevecca is well-suited for such requests because it has
historically included the liberal arts as part of its mission.
Third, the main concern is in helping the individual student.
Trevecca is a Christian community.
Fourth, spiritual life development remains at the core of its focus.
Chapel attendance, required religion courses, revivals, and the
spiritual commitment of the faculty and student body are a vital
part of University life.
We welcome and encourage you to be a part of Trevecca Nazarene
University.
MISSION
Trevecca Nazarene University is a Christian community providing
education for leadership and service.
PURPOSE
Trevecca Nazarene University, founded in 1901 by J.O.
McClurkan, is a private, accredited, comprehensive institution of
higher learning that exists to meet the higher educational needs of
the Church of the Nazarene by providing educational services to
qualified individuals who desire a university education in a
Christian environment and from a Christian understanding. Its
academic programs are based on Christian values that promote
scholarship, critical thinking, and meaningful worship for students
in preparation for lives of leadership and service to the church, the
community, and the world at large.
As the official university for the Church of the Nazarene in the
southeastern United States, Trevecca is guided by the Articles of
Faith and the Covenant of Christian Conduct of the denomination. It
emphasizes the authority of the Bible, time-honored tradition,
reasoned thought, and authentic experience of Christian holiness as
interpreted by the Wesleyan doctrine and worldview. The
university welcomes students of any religious affiliation who
subscribe to its ideals and standards.
Trevecca intends that its graduates be socially conscious, globally
aware, and actively engaged individuals who are developing
holistically in the cognitive, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual
areas of being. The desire is that each student will develop a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They are to be persons of
strong Christian character able to make ethical decisions based on
biblical principles and reflective thought. Their characteristics
should include competence, responsibility, compassion, and the
ability to integrate Christian faith and learning in practice.
The university provides a variety of face-to-face and distance
education nontraditional and continuing education professional
programs at the undergraduate, master’s, post-master’s, and
doctoral levels. Traditional undergraduate curricular programs
focus on the liberal arts and sciences as reflected in the core
curriculum and emphasize a number of professional content areas.
General Information
10| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
While the primary focus of Trevecca faculty is to teach, faculty
members are encouraged as reflective practitioners to conduct
action research that contributes to the practical wisdom of applied
knowledge and enhances the learning experience. All programs
strive to prepare students for positions of leadership and service in
their chosen careers by clarifying their life calling, developing their
intellectual abilities, and engaging them in research, service
learning, internships, and/or other opportunities that will allow
them to demonstrate practical application of their knowledge and
skills.
To achieve its purpose, Trevecca employs faculty, administrators,
and staff who model the ideals of the university and, as mentors,
seek to foster a supportive and challenging environment in which
every student can realize his or her full potential in Christ.
Therefore, Trevecca seeks to employ Christians who are
competent, professionally qualified, and fully committed to the
university’s mission and purpose.

In founding Trevecca in 1901, J. O. McClurkan exhibited an
entrepreneurial spirit aimed at meeting the deepest needs of the
people of Nashville. His death was front page news. He was
known for his selfless service. The genius of his work was the
marriage of a holy passion to serve and practical expertise. His
legacy is a school founded to shape Godly servants, true saints.
As this journey begins, we must keep our eyes on why we exist: to
be a Christian community providing high quality education for
leadership and service. We live in a world of human need, a world
that needs us to stay focused on accomplishing our mission.
Centuries of education, technology, and religion have not alleviated
human need. At times, they have only deepened the pain of our
world. As a result, pessimism has become the ruling attitude of our
day. The lack of genuinely transforming power has left us with
sound bytes, veneer promises, and evaporating idols. The reason
we exist is to make a difference in the world through people who
participate in the Trevecca experience.
Two things are needed to make the difference–
People who have a God-given, holy passion to serve
and
People whose practical expertise is transforming.
The marriage of holy passion and practical expertise is a rare
commodity. We believe that holy passion is the result of a
transforming encounter with God. Such holiness cannot be
educated into people, but is the gift of God available to all who
encounter the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Without this,
service to our fellow human tends to tire or turn selfish.
At the same time, a holy passion to serve without practical
expertise may harm the very person we intend to help. God has
given us the capacity for great service through honing our skills to
the highest level of expertise.
We are now writing the next chapter in this grand story. Ten years
from now,
• Trevecca will be a household word in the city of Nashville,
known for the Christ-like character and practical expertise of
its graduates.
• The Church of the Nazarene in the southeast will be
invigorated by graduates who lead our churches into the
trenches of human need.
• Students will come to Trevecca because they hear stories of
life-transformation. They will stay and graduate from Trevecca
because they want their life to matter here and now for God.
• People will want to work at Trevecca because the culture is
infected with spiritual depth, excellent service, highest level of
trust, and intellectual rigor. People who just want a paycheck
will not bother to apply.
• Teachers will be as committed to their students as they are to
their field of study and will define success as Christians
prepared to serve with excellence.
• Generous donors will see the difference Trevecca is making in
the world and will fund the cause with unprecedented gifts.
• Murfreesboro Road will be changed visibly, socially, and
morally.
Should we fail, the Church of the Nazarene will flounder in its
mission; the city of Nashville will be less just, less peaceful, less
neighborly; and a generation of students will be deprived of the
most transforming experience of their life. Those who have gone
before us insist that we not let McClurkan’s dream die. And we will
not.
HISTORY
Trevecca Nazarene University was founded in Nashville in 1901 by
Rev. J. O. McClurkan as the Literary and Bible Training School for
Christian Workers. In 1910 the curriculum was enlarged and the
name changed to Trevecca College, a name taken from an
institution started in Wales in 1768 during the Wesleyan Revival.
In 1914 the College was moved from downtown Nashville to a site
on Gallatin Road in East Nashville and in 1935 was established at
its present location on Murfreesboro Road in Southeast Nashville.
Trevecca became an official college of the Church of the Nazarene
in 1917 and graduated its first four-year class approved by the State
of Tennessee in 1942. It was first accredited by the Commission on
Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in
1969. The first master's degree was added in 1984. In 1995 the
name of the institution was changed to Trevecca Nazarene
University. In December 1998 Trevecca was approved as a level V
institution by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools to add the first doctoral
degree, the EdD with a major in Leadership and Professional
Practice.
The University is governed by a board of trustees elected by the
various districts of the Church of the Nazarene which comprise
the Southeast Educational Region.
From the very beginning Trevecca has sought to provide Christian
education for both ministers and laymen. Today its educational
program is reflected in more than one hundred associate,
baccalaureate, and graduate majors. Its service-oriented philosophy
has resulted in worldwide alumni representation.
The motto of Trevecca is esse quam videri—"to be rather than to
seem." Its colors are purple and white, and its athletic team name is
"the Trojans." The Trevecca Alma Mater is the following:
GENERAL INFORMATION| 11
On a hill stands old Trevecca, lined against the sky.
Hallowed halls of faith and learning, As the years go by.
We will honor and we'll love her; We will stand for right.
Always carry high her banner, Hail to the purple and the white.
Chorus:
Fellow students, may we honor her; and be ever true.
Sons and daughters she'll be proud of—Dear old T.N.U.
The first president of Trevecca was the Rev. J. O. McClurkan
(1901-1914). He was followed by Dr. C. E. Hardy (1915-1919,
1920-1925, 1928-1937), Dr. S. S. White (1919-1920), Mr. John T.
Benson (1925-1926), Dr. A. O. Hendricks (1926-1928), Dr. A. B.
Mackey (1937-1963), Dr. William M. Greathouse (1963-1968), Dr.
Mark Moore (1968-1979), Dr. Homer J. Adams (1979-1991), and
Dr. Millard Reed (1991-2005). Dr. Dan L. Boone was elected
Trevecca’s eleventh president in 2005.
For the 75th Anniversary celebration of Trevecca in 1976, a history
of the institution, authored by Dr. Mildred Bangs Wynkoop was
published under the title The Trevecca Story. In 2001 A Vine of God's
Own Planting by Dr. John Chilton, emeritus professor of history,
was published as part of the Trevecca Centennial Series. This latest
work focuses primarily on the events that shaped Trevecca from
the years 1976 to 2001.
AGREED STATEMENT OF BELIEF
The Church of the Nazarene believes:
1. In one God-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2. That the Old and New Testament scriptures, given by plenary
inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian
living.
3. That man is born with a fallen nature and is, therefore, inclined
to evil, and that continually.
4. That the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
5. That the atonement through Christ is for the whole human
race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord
Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the
dominion of sin.
6. That believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to
regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
7. That the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth and also to
the entire sanctification of believers.
8. That our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final
judgment will take place.

GENERAL EDUCATION CORE CURRICULUM
OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Purpose of the Core Curriculum
The purpose of the general education core curriculum is to
produce graduates who embody the Christian intellectual life thus
helping to fulfill Institutional Educational Goals 1-8. Toward this
end students will engage the humanities/fine arts,
social/behavioral sciences, natural sciences, religion/philosophy,
and demonstrate the critical reasoning skills essential to an
educated Christian capable of leadership and service. All of this
arises from the conviction that the liberal arts are best understood
through a theological situation of life and learning. The basic
assumptions of the general education core curriculum reflect the
medieval insight that a mature faith seeks understanding. A
graduate will demonstrate familiarity with the broad contours of
human knowledge within the specific resources and perspectives
offered by the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. The goal of the general
education curriculum is for students to develop a truly Christian
understanding in vital conversation with the liberal arts.
Organization of the Curriculum
The general education core curriculum is organized into four tiers,
which together prepare the student for academic work toward a
specific vocation. In the Foundations Tier students will develop
the basic skills necessary for a university education and lifelong
learning. From the Human Sciences Tier students will acquire the
basic social structures necessary to a meaningful life. From the
Natural Sciences Tier students will gain an understanding of the
scientific method, physical and biological sciences, and an
appreciation of the environment. The central piece of the general
education curriculum is the Contexts Tier. This part of the
curriculum is a historically integrated sequence of courses
embracing the basic content of a Christian liberal arts education. It
is expected that students will take courses from the general
education core over the entire four years.
General Education Outcomes
The purpose and organization of the general education curriculum
is linked to the Institutional Educational Goals. Therefore, the
curriculum is a context of Christian character; disciplined
reflection; and literary, artistic, mathematical, and scientific
contributions that have shaped civilization within which students
may develop an appreciation for diversity; writing, speaking, and
use of technology; critical skills essential to a lifetime of intellectual
growth; and a holistic understanding of life. The learning outcomes
of the general education curriculum seek to link the Institutional
Educational Goals through an emphasis upon skills, content, and
constructive/integrative domains of understanding. The
curriculum embraces the conception that the four tiers
(foundations, human sciences, natural sciences, and contexts) are
best understood as involving skills, content, and
constructive/integrative domains. While the general education
curriculum is organized into tiers, the horizon that informs the
core involves these outcomes which run throughout the tiers. In
other words, an educated person will possess certain skills and
content as a basis of embracing the world through a constructive
and integrative theological vision of life and learning.
1. Students will demonstrate competency in oral and written
communication exhibiting an awareness of content, purpose,
and audience while accurately using Standard English.
2. Students will articulate the foundational themes of the Holy
Bible as well as the intellectual strategies for further study of
the scripture.
3. Students will articulate the parameters of the Wesleyan-
Holiness tradition, doctrinal and moral convictions of the
Church of the Nazarene and the connection with intellectual,
emotional, spiritual, and physical life individually and
collectively.
4. Students will use the scientific method, scientific inquiry, and
perform basic mathematical and statistical tasks to analyze and
solve problems.
5. Students will demonstrate an understanding of global
civilization, human behavior, and religion through historical,
literary, and aesthetic records.
6. Students will demonstrate an understanding and practice of
various intellectual modes of thinking.
7. Students will integrate the fundamental doctrinal/moral tenets
of the Christian faith with the basic liberal arts and academic
major, forming students for Christian leadership and service in
the global community.
8. Students will demonstrate an understanding of cultural diversity
with a capacity to positively engage others.
9. Students will demonstrate an appreciation of the stewardship
of resources, as it applies to personal life and in society as a
whole, from a Christian perspective.

UNIVERSITY SERVICES
Spiritual Life
Trevecca believes that the spiritual formation of students as
disciples of Jesus Christ is central to our mission. The general
education core curriculum consists of three specific courses in
religion which seek to enhance the student’s understanding of the
Bible, the Christian faith, and the Christian life and service. Classes
of all disciplines are regularly opened with prayer.
Chapel is an integral part of the spiritual life on our campus. The
Trevecca community gathers each week for times of prayer,
worship through song, preaching, the reading of scripture, the
proclamation of the gospel and sharing in the sacraments (see
Chapel brochure for specific dates). In both the fall and spring
semesters, a week is set aside in which spiritual deepening is the
primary focus. Attendance requirements for these worship
opportunities are outlined in the Student Handbook. Many of the
residence halls have a prayer chapel for private meditation and
small group prayer meetings. Discipleship and accountability
groups for both residential and non-residential students are offered
and students are encouraged to participate. For spiritual
counseling, the members of the Office of the Chaplain maintain
regular office hours.
Through student government, Campus Ministries coordinates
student-led spiritual life activities on campus and offers
opportunities for involvement in ministry through the planning of
student chapels, as well as numerous outreach opportunities in
various areas of service throughout Middle Tennessee and the
southeast region. In addition, opportunities for ministry through
TAG (Trevecca Around the Globe) Teams minister
both domestically and abroad during fall and spring breaks as well

available through the IMMERSE program.
All students are strongly encouraged to become actively involved

Trevecca Nazarene University offers a variety of admission
programs designed to reflect sensitivity and flexibility to the diverse
needs and academic program preferences of the individual student.
Applications for admission to Trevecca Nazarene University are
for a particular term of enrollment. Requirements of materials may
change from one term to another. Acceptance for one term or one
program does not necessarily indicate that admission will be
granted for any other term or program. Applications for admission
are considered on a rolling basis, pending space available, so early
submission of all application materials is strongly encouraged.
Applicants will be notified of a decision as soon as possible after
completing the application. The application deadlines are August 1
for entry in the fall term, December 1 for entry in the spring term,
and April 15 for entry in the summer term.
As a private Christian university affiliated with the Church of the
Nazarene, Trevecca is open to any qualified student without regard
to race, color, sex, age, creed, national or ethnic origin, or physical
disability. Trevecca Nazarene University (TNU) complies with all
statutory and regulatory nondiscrimination requirements applicable
to this institution in the administration of its educational policies
and programs, scholarships and loan programs, and athletic and
other school-administered programs. The University reserves the
right to refuse admission/readmission to any student or applicant
based upon a determination that admission/readmission of the
applicant would not be consistent with the goals and standards of
the University.
Trevecca provides undergraduate admission opportunities in two
categories: degree seeking and non-degree seeking. Within these
categories, there are several different programs. Each application is
considered on an individual basis. No two applicants will present
the same credentials or the same degree of “fit” with the
University. Our desire is to work with each student to determine
the likelihood for that student to enroll, graduate, and benefit from
the Trevecca educational experience.

Admissions Consideration
The University invites applications from students who will
contribute to, as well as benefit from, the Trevecca experience. An
applicant to Trevecca Nazarene University is considered on an
individual basis and evaluated on the student's total picture of
academic preparation, potential, and personal records. Future
students are encouraged to visit the campus to learn more about
what Trevecca has to offer. High school students will be
considered competitive for admission if they present a course of
college-preparatory academic studies with above-average academic
and cumulative grade point average. Transfer work should likewise
be strongly related to the chosen field of study. Any college-level
work is also expected to be at the above-average level. A strong
correlation between high school grades and entrance examinations
scores is expected. The resume of activities and recommendations
are also strongly considered as positive indicators of success at
Trevecca. Additional requirements such as portfolios or auditions
are considered in conjunction with the academic credentials for
those programs which require them. International students should
also refer to the specific requirements outlined in this catalog.
The application for admission serves as the merit scholarship
application; therefore, complete and detailed information including
the resume of activities is important. High school seniors are
encouraged to apply to Trevecca during the early fall months of the
senior year. Transfer applicants should apply to Trevecca as soon
as possible during the term preceding the term for which they are

may take one or more courses at Trevecca. A maximum of 16
semester hours may be earned in this status. Non-degree seeking

(waived for electronic application).
Audit Admission
Individuals wishing to attend class presentations as a non-
participant in a non-credit, non-degree seeking status may apply to
audit a course. Audit is non-credit in all cases and flat-rate fees
apply. Since all classes are not open for audit, students must have
prior approval of the instructor and University registrar. Students
taking courses for credit have priority over audit students for class
entry. Therefore, audit students may register on a space-available
basis only. Students may not audit private music lessons, trips, or
courses in special degree programs.

High school students, upon recommendation of the high school
principal or counselor, may be granted dual enrollment admission
during the junior or senior year in high school. Before dual
admission is granted, the applicant must take the ACT or SAT and

Admissions. An official partial high school transcript with a
qualifying grade point average must also be submitted. Such
students may take University classes while completing their high
school diploma.
Post-Graduate Admission
Non-Degree Post-Graduate status is for students who hold an
undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited college or
university and would like to take additional undergraduate courses
at Trevecca. In addition to the application and fee, a student must
submit an official copy of the college transcript with degree and
graduation date posted.
Transient Admission
Admission as a transient student is granted on the basis of a
completed application, application fee (waived for electronic
application) and an official “letter of good standing” from the
institution currently being attended. The letter must be mailed
directly to Trevecca's Office of Admissions from the academic
dean or registrar of the student's present institution.
A student coming directly from high school to summer school at
Trevecca needs to supply a high school transcript, test scores,
application, fee and letter of acceptance from the university they
will attend during the fall semester.
Regular Non-Degree Admission
Students who do not wish to earn a degree, but otherwise would
normally fall into the freshman or transfer admission category, may
apply as a non-degree seeking student. All other admission
requirements are the same as those for degree-seeking students.
Senior Citizen Audit Admission
Senior citizens, 60 years of age or older, may audit up to 3 hours

taken by the student.

1. associated with an umbrella school organization, then the
organization should provide the University with the official

Trevecca Nazarene University is a participant in the Tennessee
Transfer Pathway. Tennessee Transfer Pathways (TTPs) are
designed to help community college students plan for transferring

their baccalaureate degree. The TTPs also constitute an agreement
between community colleges and four-year colleges/universities
confirming that community college courses meet major
26| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
preparation requirements. A student who completes all of the
courses listed on a particular Transfer Pathway will earn an AA or
AS degree at the community college. The student is responsible for
following the TTP exactly to ensure transfer of hours. A minimum
grade of “C” is required for courses to transfer. Admission into

Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree.
Transfer from Non-Accredited Colleges
After one full-time semester of satisfactory work at Trevecca, a
student may have credits earned at a non-accredited college
reviewed for acceptance as a basis for academic standing. The
procedure is to require a statement from three (3) accredited
colleges that have previously accepted credits earned from the non-
accredited college. Evaluation of courses will be made on an
individual basis. No credit will be given for courses below C, and
courses must parallel course offerings at Trevecca Nazarene
University. Only hours earned (not grades or GPA) will transfer.
All transfer credit issues pertaining to general education core,
college-level learning, instructional quality, and course equivalency
shall receive final resolution through a collaborative effort
involving discipline-appropriate faculty and department
chairperson(s), school dean or associate vice president for
academic services.
Credit from non-regionally accredited proprietary schools will be
validated for credit only by demonstration of competency through
a departmental exam or nationally recognized testing agency (e.g.,
CLEP). CLEP tests will be used when available.
Transfer from Bible Colleges
Trevecca Nazarene University will accept up to 90 semester hours
of credit (not grades or GPA) for courses with grades of C or
above from Bible colleges accredited by the Association for
Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). In addition to credits accepted,
applicants must meet all requirements for graduation at Trevecca,
including general education requirements and departmental
requirements.
Credit by Examination
Trevecca Nazarene University recognizes several national testing
programs that provide students with opportunities to earn college
credit. Students may earn a total of 45 credit hours for passing test
scores on subject-specific tests. Credit will be entered on the
student’s official transcript after attendance at Trevecca for one
semester. Credit may be earned with minimum qualifying scores as
recommended by the American Council of Education. Testing
credit awarded at other schools must also meet the above standard
before being received for transfer credit. Official score reports
must be sent directly to Trevecca. Testing credit is not assigned in
the same area a student already has credit, and the examination
must be taken within two weeks of enrollment if credit is sought
for a currently enrolled course. Testing credit for General

Academic Records before the student has acquired 96 hours of
coursework.

Belmont University. These additional charges are calculated
and published in May and may be accessed by calling the
Nursing Program Coordinator at (615) 248-1540 or Office of
Financial Aid at (615) 248-1242. Students enrolled in the
Nursing Program who are at Belmont University for much of
their day may request to be approved for the 7 Meal Plan
which has a lower cost than the usual Full Meal Plan.
Students should contact the Office of Student Development
to make their request.
(2) Senior citizens, 60 years of age or older, may audit up to 3
hours per semester tuition-free on space available basis with
approval of instructor and associate vice president for
academic services. Does not apply to trips, special degree
programs, or course fees.
(3) Directed Study taken by Post Baccalaureate students is
charged regular University tuition plus fee.
(4) Damage in a residence hall for which responsibility cannot be
determined will be charged on a pro rata basis to all residents
during the semester. Person(s) known to be responsible for
vandalism will be charged the full amount personally.
Damage in a student’s room is charged to the resident(s) of
that room or to the person(s) known to have caused the
damage.
METHODS OF PAYMENT
The registration of a student signifies an agreement by the student
and his or her parents to fulfill the related financial obligations for
that semester and to comply with the payment policies established
by the University and reflected in this Catalog. The University
expects that every student will care for his or her account and
believes that responsibility for handling the student account is part
of the educational experience.
Expenses Are Due and Payable as Follows:
All expenses for the semester, after subtraction of financial aid
awards, are due and payable before the beginning of classes for
that semester.
Trevecca has established an agreement with Tuition Management
Systems (TMS) to administer our tuition payment plan. An interest
free payment plan is available to enable students to more easily
budget and afford their educational expenses. Students who are not
prepared to pay their semester charges in full at the time of
registration should contact the Office of Accounting for
information regarding the TMS tuition payment plan.
A one and one-half percent (1.5%) late fee will be added at the end
of each month to any unpaid balance which is at least thirty (30)
days old. Each semester must be paid in full before registering for
a new semester. Any student who has become delinquent through
failure to make payment or proper financial arrangements will be
subject to disenrollment until such matters are satisfactorily
resolved with the Office of Accounting. Should a student fail to
pay his or her account in full or make acceptable payment
arrangements with the Office of Accounting, the account may be
referred to an outside collection agency. If this becomes necessary,
the student will be responsible for all costs of collection including
reasonable attorney fees if applicable.
No degrees or certificates will be awarded and no transcript of
credits will be issued until all financial obligations to the University
are discharged in full. For immediate release, payment must be in
the form of cash, credit card, money order, or cashier’s check.
Payment by personal check will necessitate a delay of ten working
days before transcripts or diplomas will be released. The University
reserves the right to make financial changes for any and all charges
between times of publication of any catalogs or student
handbooks.
Refund Policy
For students withdrawing from all classes or dropping a course, the
following refund policy applies to tuition, fees, the meal plan, and
housing. All refund periods are based on the actual weeks of
classes. (Dates and prorating percentages for Summer are printed with the
Summer schedule.)
After late registration, there will be no refund of Student Fees
or Course Fees.
Within the first week of classes* — 100% refund of tuition, meals,
housing
Within the second week of classes — 80% refund of tuition, meals,
housing
32| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
Within the third week of classes — 60% refund of tuition, meals,
housing
Within the fourth week of classes — 40% refund of tuition, meals,
housing
Within the fifth week of classes — 20% refund of tuition, meals,
housing
*The week begins with the first day of classes and ends seven days thereafter.
For instance, if classes begin on Wednesday, 100% drop period will expire the
following Tuesday evening.
After fifth week — no refund
No refund will be considered past the fifth week of classes in any
semester.
When sufficient space is available, a non-enrolled student may
remain in University housing for one additional semester. Approval
must be granted by the Office of Student Development and
completed by making satisfactory financial arrangements with the
Office of Accounting. Permission will be contingent upon paying
(1) full meal plan, and (2) full room cost. Full payment is due at the
beginning of the semester.
FINANCIAL AID
Trevecca Nazarene University offers a comprehensive program of
financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants-in-aid, loans, and
part-time employment. A student must be admitted to the
University before an award will be made.
The financial aid program at Trevecca serves a twofold purpose:
(1) to recognize overall academic scholarship and outstanding
achievement in specific areas and (2) to assist students who find it
difficult or impossible to attend college without financial help.
Student Aid is administered in conjunction with a nationally
established philosophy which is based on the belief that parents are
the primary resource for helping students to meet educational
expenses. The student’s assets should also be considered. Financial
Aid becomes a bridge to fill the gap between the student’s potential
resources and the University's costs.
Any student starting Trevecca without a high school diploma or its
equivalent is classified as a special student. Special students are not
eligible for federal aid.
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
To determine need, the University utilizes the FAFSA. All students
(first time filers or returning students filing the renewal) seeking
financial assistance are required to file the FAFSA online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov designating Trevecca Nazarene University as one
of the recipients. The following guidelines will be followed:
1. The electronic ISIR (Institutional Student Information Record)
which comes to the University as a result of the student’s
completion of the new or renewal FAFSA should be received
by July 31.
2. An ISIR received by July 31 allows time for Trevecca to make
an award, for the student to accept the award and complete any
loan application(s), and for Trevecca to process the loan
application(s).
3. If the student has no ISIR, then he or she cannot register until
the next semester unless he or she pays at least one-half of the
tuition, fees, room, and meal costs for the semester. The
remaining balance could be funded by financial aid that would
be available once the student files the FAFSA.
Deadlines
The FAFSA should be completed in the early spring for the
following fall. Aid is awarded on a rolling basis, first come-first
served, with February 1st serving as a priority date. Late filers have
fewer chances of getting aid. Only one application is required to
determine eligibility. For Tennessee residents, the FAFSA will also
determine eligibility for a Tennessee Student Assistance Award and
the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship. Applications should be filed in
January or February, whenever possible. Awarding for first-time
students begins in March. Returning students are awarded after the
end of the spring semester.
A family’s ability to contribute may fluctuate from year to year.
Therefore, awards are made for one academic year only. Each
applicant must apply annually. The FAFSA can be completed
online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. All inquiries and requests should be
directed to the Office of Financial Aid.
Withdrawal from Classes
Any student who has received federal financial aid and is
considering withdrawing from all classes should review the Federal
Return of Title IV Funds policy. An example of this policy is
available in the Office of Financial Aid. Any student wishing to
withdraw should begin the process in the Office of Academic
Records.
Federal Aid for Homeschoolers
Federal law states that, in lieu of an accredited high school diploma
or GED, a student is eligible for federal financial aid if “the student
has completed a secondary school education in a homeschool
setting that is treated as a homeschool or a private school under
state law.” Homeschoolers are not required to produce a GED or
take an ability to benefit test.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial
Aid
All students who receive federal financial aid must be making
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). In order to insure that the
student makes progress both in number of hours completed each
academic year and cumulative GPA, Trevecca will utilize the
following satisfactory academic progress policy. SAP is reviewed
annually at the end of the spring semester.
Minimum Standards for Undergraduate Students
Trevecca’s institutional requirements for minimum SAP for
undergraduate financial aid recipients are defined as follows:
1. Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA):
The student must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA:

FINANCIAL INFORMATION| 33
Hours GPA Required
0-29 1.6
30-59 2.0
60-89 2.0
90-completion 2.0
2. Minimum completion rate:
The student must maintain a minimum cumulative completion
rate of two-thirds of credits attempted (67 percent).
3. Maximum time frame to complete the program/degree:
The student must complete his or her educational program
within a time frame no longer than 150 percent of published
length of the educational program, as measured by credits
attempted and including transfer credits. (For example, the
student must complete his or her program after attempting a
maximum of 180 credits for a 120-credit program.)
A student may take coursework in the summer term to meet the
SAP criteria and have their financial aid reinstated. The student will
be responsible for notifying the Financial Aid Office.
Students who graduate from one program at Trevecca and then
enroll in a second eligible program should contact the Financial
Aid Office to determine their SAP status under their new program
of study.
Federal regulations require that TNU track the academic progress
of financial aid recipients from the first date of enrollment at TNU,
whether or not financial aid was received.
Academic work done at other institutions (if accepted by TNU
toward a degree) will count for the progress standard. Summer
work counts towards the cumulative requirements. Remedial work
will be considered as part of the satisfactory progress. Federal
funds can be used to pay for one repeated course.
Removal from Financial Aid
A student, who fails to meet the standards of progress, as outlined
under the minimum cumulative completion rate and/or the
minimum cumulative GPA, will be removed from federal financial
aid.
Note: Removal from financial aid does not prevent a student from
enrolling in Trevecca with his/her own finances if he/she is
eligible to re-enroll. Institutional scholarships can still be awarded.
Appeals
Students removed from financial aid can appeal that decision to the
Scholarship Committee. The appeal must be prepared in writing
and be accompanied by appropriate supporting documents.
Reasons that may be acceptable for the appeal are:
1. Serious illness or accident on the part of the student. An appeal
of this type will normally require a supporting statement from
the doctor.
2. Death or serious illness in the immediate family.
Appeal letters should be sent to the Director of Financial Aid. If
the appeal is approved the student is required to complete one
term on probation with a full-time load of coursework and
maintain the minimum grade level GPA in the following term.
Students are limited to a total of two appeals while enrolled at
Trevecca.
Eligibility to Have Financial Aid Reinstated
A student may be eligible to have his/her federal financial aid
eligibility reinstated when he/she enrolls without federal financial
aid and successfully completes enough hours to satisfy the
minimum Completion rate and GPA.
Trevecca offers counseling and an advising system to assist
students in their efforts to achieve educational goals. All students
are encouraged to use these services to help make their progress
toward a degree more successful.
Students who receive federal financial aid have always been
required to meet SAP standards at their institutions to receive
federal financial aid. That has not changed. However, effective July
1, 2011, the Financial Aid Office has greater restrictions in its
ability to approve appeals for students who find that they are not
able to meet these standards.
The changes that affect students are as follows:
1. There can no longer be an automatic semester of probation
given to student the first time they do not meet the university’s
SAP standards as has been done in the past. Beginning with the
Fall 2011 semester, students who do not meet SAP standards
must be put on Financial Aid Denied status and no federal
financial aid will be paid.
2. The Financial Aid Office may continue to grant appeals but
only under the following two conditions:
a. The student has an extreme personal circumstance such as
hospitalization or the death of an immediate family member
that can be substantiated with documentation.
AND
b. The student will be able to regain SAP standing at the
conclusion of the next semester of enrollment.
3. Students whose appeals are denied must pay their own way
until they have improved their GPA and earned sufficient
credits to meet the requirement of the policy.
4. Students that excessively repeat courses or take courses not
related to their degree will not be considered to be making
satisfactory academic progress.
Verification
This is the process of checking the accuracy of the information
supplied by students when they apply for federal student aid. Not
all students are chosen for verification. Tax transcripts and/or
additional information will be requested from those who are
chosen by the U.S. Department of Education.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Trevecca Nazarene University annually offers scholarships to
students in pursuit of their first academic degree who have
exhibited outstanding scholastic achievement. Annual awards are
distributed in two equal payments. A student may receive only one
academic scholarship per semester. Institutional scholarships at
Trevecca can be applied only to fees, tuition, room, meal plan, and
books and can never generate a credit balance. Institutional
scholarships require a minimum load of twelve hours each
34| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
semester and will usually not be awarded beyond eight full-time
semesters. No institutional scholarships will be given for external
academic programming in which no tuition is paid to Trevecca.
All federal/state grants and private scholarships are credited first to
the student’s account to pay tuition costs. All other
institutional/endowed scholarships are to be applied to cover any
remaining tuition, room, meal plan, and book expenses.
Institutional/endowed scholarships will be reduced if a credit
remains on a student’s account after the above listed expenses have
been met with grants and scholarships. Students living in campus
housing other than the dorms may use a credit balance resulting
from grants and scholarships to cover rent, electricity, and the
equivalent of a semester’s meal charges in the cafeteria. Food
expense for the summer will be based on a semester cost for the
on-campus meal plan. Students living in non-campus housing will
not be eligible to use a credit balance generated with
institutional/endowed scholarships to cover living expenses.
It is the intent of the University to use institutional funds to cover
direct expenses, so as to maximize the institution’s scholarship
funds and to be able to assist as many students as possible.
Academic Scholarships for Traditional
Undergraduate Students
Trevecca Nazarene University awards annual scholarships in
recognition of a student’s academic achievement prior to
enrollment at Trevecca Nazarene University. Awards are
determined at the time a freshman or transfer enters Trevecca and
will establish the maximum academic award for that student during
his/her time at the University. A student must qualify as an
incoming freshman or transfer in order to receive an academic
scholarship. Transfer students who are enrolling in the spring or
fall semester in pursuit of their first undergraduate degree may be
eligible for one of the academic scholarships. The student must
have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3 and have at least two full-
time semesters or three full-time quarters (defined as at least 12
credit hours per semester or at least 12 credit hours per quarter)
prior to enrolling at Trevecca and after their official high school
graduation date (as reflected on their official final transcript). Dual
enrollment course work will be considered toward transfer
academic scholarships only when presented in conjunction with a
minimum of two post-high school, full-time semesters completed.
The awards for transfer students are recommended by the Office
of Admissions upon receipt of all final official transcripts.
(Students who are transferring in less than 24 transferable credit
hours will be eligible for academic scholarships based on their
ACT/SAT scores).
The academic scholarships have been named in honor of past administrators
and faculty whose lives had a significant impact on the Trevecca story. The
table below names the scholarships and amounts, and it lists the
requirements for freshmen and transfers. Academic Scholarships
are renewable with a 3.0 GPA for freshmen and a 3.3 GPA for
transfers.
Freshman Scholarships

The academic scholarship awarded to an incoming freshman or
transfer student will be renewed in the fall semester of each
academic year provided that the student maintains a minimum
cumulative GPA. These scholarships require that a student take a
minimum load of twelve hours each semester, and these
scholarships will usually not be awarded beyond eight full-time
semesters. Students who fail to maintain the required renewal GPA
will forfeit their academic scholarship for the coming school year.
Students who lose their original award level due to their GPA may
regain their award level in future academic years if they raise their
cumulative GPA to the required level.
To be considered for need-based and endowed scholarships,
students should complete a Free Application for Federal Student
Aid as early as possible. The FAFSA is available online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov. (Trevecca’s code is 003526)
Institutional Grants-In-Aid
Athletic Grants
Grants for Intercollegiate Athletics are awarded to students based
on athletic ability and skill. Applications for this type of assistance
should be made to the Athletic Department. Awards are made
through the Office of Financial Aid and become part of the
“financial aid package.”
Music, Communication, and Education Awards
A limited number of awards are made annually to music,
communication, and education students upon recommendation of
the appropriate department.
Student Government
Awards are made to officers of the student government and editors
of student publications. Students should check with the Office of
Student Development for more information.
Church Matching Scholarship
An undergraduate student who is enrolled at Trevecca full-time
may be eligible for a Church Matching Scholarship, whereby
FINANCIAL INFORMATION| 35
Trevecca will match dollars sent to the University by the student’s
home church to be credited toward that student’s account.
There are two levels within this scholarship opportunity.
1. If the student’s local church is a Nazarene church on
Trevecca’s Region and has paid 100% of the assigned
educational budget for the assembly year closing the summer
prior to enrollment — Trevecca will match 2-to-1 any amount
the local church sends in for their students up to $500. A
student may receive up to $500 from the local church, and
TNU will add up to $1,000 to make it up to a $1,500 Church
Match Scholarship.
2. Trevecca will match 1-to-1 any amount the local church sends
in for their students up to $500 (church sends up to $500 and
TNU adds up to $500 for a total Church Match Scholarship of
up to $1,000) for a student from:
• a Nazarene church on Trevecca’s Region who did not pay
100% of the assigned educational budget for the assembly
year closing the summer prior to enrollment; or
• a Nazarene church not on Trevecca’s Region; or
• a non-Nazarene church
This scholarship is available once per academic year for up to four
years. One-half is credited to the student's account in the Fall
semester, and the other half is credited in the Spring semester.
For eligible students the local church will send a church check to
the Office of Financial Aid at Trevecca identifying the student(s) to
receive the funds. Trevecca will match the funds from the local
church and post the combined scholarship to the student(s)
account.
PK/MK Scholarship
An award of $6,000 annually ($3,000 per semester) for up to eight
semesters of undergraduate classes through age 23 will be granted

during which a borrower: (1) is at least a half-time student; (2) is
pursuing a course of study in an approved graduate fellowship
program or approved rehabilitation training program for disabled
individuals excluding a medical internship or residency program;

Academic Council or Teacher Education Committee and published
with their credit-hour requirements in the Trevecca Nazarene
University Catalog.

regular school year (August-May). A limited schedule of online and
face-to-face courses is offered during the summer.
Academic Advising
Students are advised by faculty in the major field of study chosen

Programs by Schools and Departments (p. 60) section of the
Catalog.
Policies
Limitation of Student Load
The average load is 15 hours; the maximum is 18 hours. Students
may not register for more than 18 hours unless their grade average
for the preceding semester was a “B” and they have the approval
of the school dean. Students who work should limit their academic
loads according to the number of hours they work and their level
of ability.
Second Major
In place of a minor, some students may have the option of
completing a second major by completing all of the specific
requirements which are unique to that major, including general
education coursework, with the exception of a supporting minor.
If the student chooses to meet requirements for a second major,
that student must declare an approved degree major as defined
below. The degree major will be listed as such on the official
transcript and will be the degree included on the student’s diploma.
The second major will be listed as “second major” on the student’s
official transcript.
Second Degree
A second Bachelor’s degree may be obtained with a minimum of
30 hours of coursework which is in addition to the requirements

work for college credit.
Course Numbering System
1000–Freshmen 3000–Juniors

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 (p. 61) provides a list of majors
and minors offered. Specific requirements and a recommended
schedule for completing the requirements for a major are listed
under each department in this Catalog.
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, 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.
Concentrations, Professional Minors, or Electives
from Major Area
Concentrations, professional minors, or required electives from the
major area are provided to students as areas of emphasis in some
majors as an addition to a major core. Concentrations, professional
minors, or required number of electives of 18 hours or less permit
minor specialization in the broad area of the major while those of
more than 18 hours allow for focused study in the professional
area.
Minors
Minors allow for additional areas of study. Some are required with
particular majors; most are options which may be added to any
major, creating options for personal enrichment or career
enhancement.
Noncredit Course Work Not Accepted
Trevecca Nazarene University does not award academic credit for
course work taken on a noncredit basis at Trevecca or another
college or university. Transfer policies and procedures for credit
accepted by Trevecca for courses taken for credit at other colleges
and universities are described in all university catalogs. Credit is

BestSemester Program and the AuSable Institute of Environmental
Studies. Trevecca also has a contractual agreement with Belmont
University to offer the professional component of the BSN major
in Nursing. Undergraduate students may be awarded credit for
experiential learning, credit by examination, Advanced Placement,
and professional certificates. American Council of Education
(ACE) guidelines are used as a guide to establish course
equivalency. Specific types and credit-hour limitations are
described in the admissions and graduation requirement sections of
the University Catalog and the Adult Studies Catalog supplement.

General Education Waiver and Substitution in Major or
Minor
Course work can count toward the completion of a major or minor
and simultaneously satisfy a General Education requirement. This
can be done by: (a) waiver of a General Education requirement
when the completion of a course listed as part of the General
Education core directly contributes to the fulfillment of a major or
minor, as approved by the department; (b) substitution of one or
more courses completed to fulfill a major or minor for a course in
the General Education core in the same field, as approved by the
Academic Council.
Requirements for the AA or AS Degree
Trevecca offers the Associate of Arts degree and the Associate of
Science degree in selected programs of study. These 2-year
programs require approximately one year in general education
including six hours of required religion courses. The balance of the
program is in the specialty area selected. The University requires 60
semester hours of work with a 2.00 grade point average for
graduation with the AA or AS degree. The residency requirement
for the AA or AS degree is 25% of the total degree hours required
(exclusive of testing, PLC, and military credit). Additional
requirements for curriculum and degree completion for graduation
that apply to baccalaureate and associate students are listed under
Requirements for Graduation.
DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION & BASIC
SKILLS
Trevecca’s developmental education and basic skills courses are for
students who fail to establish competency through their ACT
scores or are granted admission on academic restriction or
probation.
Students required to take these courses may not withdraw from
them without permission from the associate director of academic
services unless they are withdrawing from all University courses.
Any variation in the requirements must be approved by the
Academic Services Committee.
Developmental Education Course
Math
Students with math ACT scores of 19 and below will be placed in
the developmental mathematics course INT 0960 Intermediate
Algebra and encouraged to take it their first semester. The course
is graded on an S, IP, U, and F basis and does not count toward
graduation. It does count as institutional credit in the areas of
financial aid and athletic eligibility.
Developmental Education Suspension
• Students will have four semesters to complete developmental
education requirements.
• Students who do not successfully complete their requirements
by the end of their fourth semester of enrollment (spring or
fall) will be suspended for the following semester and until they
submit a transcript from another college or university with a
course equivalent to the developmental or college level course
requirement.
• Students who exceed absence limits in INT 0960 during any
semester will be suspended from all University classes for the
following semester.
• Students may appeal their suspension if there are extenuating
circumstances. Appeals for waiver of suspension must be
submitted in writing to the Academic Services Committee.
Basic Skills Courses
English
Students with English ACT scores of 17 and below will be placed
in ENG 1010 Introduction to Rhetoric and ENG 1010L
Introduction to Rhetoric/Lab, a component taken concurrently
with ENG 1010. Both courses carry regular University credit.
ENG 1010 is graded on a regular letter grade basis, and ENG
1010L is graded on an S/IP/U/F basis.
ACADEMIC POLICIES| 51
Academic Restriction
Students granted admission on academic restriction with an ACT
composite above 17, will be placed in INT 1010 Study Skills. INT
1010 carries regular University credit and is graded on a regular
letter grade basis. This course is also open to all students as an
elective.
Students granted admission on academic restriction with an ACT
composite of 17 and below will be required to take INT 1210
Fundamentals of Student Success I, which carries regular
University credit and is graded on a regular letter grade
basis. Students who carry less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA after
completing Fundamentals of Student Success I will be placed in
INT 1220 Fundamentals of Student Success II.
Academic Probation
Students granted admission on academic probation will be placed
in INT 1150 Engaging Academic Success. INT 1150 is graded
on an S/IP/U/F basis.
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION
To encourage and ensure satisfactory progress toward a degree, the
Office of Academic Records and the Office of Academic Services
administer the following system of probation and suspension. As a
student advances in class, the minimum academic level increases
according to the following scale to assure that the 2.0 minimum
grade point average requirement is met for graduation.
Probation Limits by Student Classification
Classification Hours Attempted Probation Level
Four-Year Degrees:
Freshman 0-29 less than 1.60
Sophomore 30-59 less than 1.80
Junior 60-89 less than 1.95
Senior 90-completion less than 2.00
Two-Year Degrees:
First Year 0-29 less than 1.80
Second Year 30-60 less than 2.00
All students’ records will be evaluated at the end of fall and spring
semesters. Probation and suspension will be based on the
cumulative grade point averages of each of these semesters.
Transfer students with grade point averages below minimum
standards will be entered on probation.
Probation: designation after a semester in which a student fails to
achieve the minimum cumulative GPA for his or her class
standing. Students on probation are required to have counseling
and class schedule approval by a Center for Leadership, Calling,
and Service counselor before they are allowed to register and are
required to maintain a 2.0 average for courses taken during the
semester of probation to avoid suspension the following term.
Students must take INT 1150 Engaging Academic Success in the
first semester of academic probation (exceptions to this are
freshmen enrolled in INT 1210 Fundamentals of Student Success
I, as they will serve their probation by being placed in INT 1220
Fundamentals of Student Success II rather than Engaging
Academic Success). Students who continue for more than one
semester on academic probation are required to continue the class
as INT 1155.
One-Semester Suspension: designation after a semester in which
a student fails to maintain a 2.0 for the courses taken during a
semester of probation.
Two-Semester Suspension: designation the second time a
student fails to maintain a 2.0 for courses taken during a semester
of probation.
Right to Appeal Academic Suspension
If there were extenuating circumstances (illness or family
emergency) during a semester previous to suspension, a student
may appeal in writing to the Admissions Committee for waiver of
suspension. The extenuating circumstances and their probable
solution should be documented in writing by someone such as a
doctor, parent, pastor, or appropriate school official. If a waiver is
granted, failure to maintain a 2.0 for the term GPA in the semester
in which the waiver is granted or any subsequent semester prior to
being removed from probation automatically moves the student to
the next suspension designation.
No student on academic or social probation will be allowed to fill
any major office.* Students must have a 2.5 average to be
approved for election to major offices.** Students serving the
University as official representatives in any capacity, such as SGA
officers, intercollegiate athletics, and non-academic musical groups,
must not be on academic or social probation.
*All SGA members, class and club presidents, business managers of
publications.
**If new freshmen, student must have an ACT Composite of 19 or above or
an SAT total of 910 or above. Freshmen officers cannot be in developmental
education.

Minimums for Graduation
120 semester hours and a 2.00 grade point average are required.
Prior Learning Credit
This University recognizes the validity of prior learning and
provides opportunity to receive academic credit for college-level
learning from experience, professional schools, and training. Up to
32 semester hours of academic credits for a BA or BS degree and
15 semester hours for an AA or AS degree are allowable with
proper validation and approval in accordance with American
Council of Education guidelines or evaluation by qualified
Trevecca faculty. Such credit will be awarded only after 12
semester hours have been completed at Trevecca. This program is
administered through the School of Graduate and Continuing
Studies.
Military Service Credit
Credit may be given for military education. On presentation of a
military transcript, credit is determined in accordance with
American Council of Education guidelines by individual
assessment according to Trevecca’s guidelines.
Transient Credit from Other Colleges
Students are not permitted to register for courses in other
institutions while attending Trevecca without the approval of the
registrar. Approval forms are available on TNU4U. The University
reserves the right to reject any courses submitted which were not
first approved. Students who owe the University money or are on
academic probation or suspension will not be allowed to take work
at another college as an approved transient student.
Scholastic Honors
Dean’s List. Each semester the Dean’s List is composed of those
traditional undergraduate students carrying 12 or more hours who
achieve a 3.5 grade point average.
Graduating Honors. Undergraduate students (traditional and
adult studies) of high scholastic standing will graduate with honors,
according to the following criteria for each honor rank:
With Distinction—representing a cumulative standing of at
least 3.5 for AA or AS degree candidates only.
Cum Laude—representing a cumulative standing of at least 3.5.
Magna Cum Laude—representing a cumulative standing of at
least 3.7.
Summa Cum Laude—representing a cumulative standing of 3.9
or above.
Phi Delta Lambda is the national honor society of the colleges and
universities of the Church of the Nazarene. Each college or
university maintains a chapter, the one at Trevecca Nazarene
University being the Zeta chapter. Honor graduates are eligible for
election to membership in this chapter. Elections are held each
year by the faculty during the commencement season. Membership
each year may not exceed 15 percent of the graduating class.
The Honor Society. At the end of each spring semester the
Honor Society membership list includes those traditional
undergraduate students (24 hours and above) who have a
cumulative average of 3.5 for the previous fall and spring
semesters. Members are inducted the following year. Transfer
student requirements are outlined in the Honor Society
Constitution. Students who have not completed all required
developmental courses are not eligible for membership.
Grade Processing Policies
Auditing Policy
Students may audit courses for an N (no credit) grade at a reduced
fee. Although courses are usually audited only for no credit, they
may be audited before or after they are taken for credit. Professors
are not obligated to evaluate work, and students are not obligated
to do assignments; however, assignments may be completed and
evaluated by mutual consent. The registration status of courses
may not be changed from audit to credit or from credit to audit
after the initial drop/add period.
Grading Policy
Each regular course must have a minimum of two significant
evaluative measures (preferably exams)—at least one by mid-term.
Change of Grade Policy
After a professor has assigned a grade in a course, changes may be
made only for clerical error—never to allow a student to complete
or do extra work. Changes must be approved by the associate vice
president for academic services. Any student who wishes to contest
his or her final grade for a course should follow the guidelines
outlined in the Final Grade Appeal Policy and Procedures (p. 53)
section of the Catalog.
ACADEMIC POLICIES| 53
Course Repeat Policy
Students may repeat courses if the second course is equivalent in
content to the first. The repeat grade is the grade recorded as part
of the GPA. The registrar makes decisions about course
equivalencies concerning general education courses. Decisions
about major and minor courses are made by the registrar in
consultation with the school deans and program directors. A failed
course may not be repeated by directed study.
Permanent Record Policy
Permanent Record Defined: The permanent record of the student
is comprised of the transcript, program of study, disclosure forms,
and other pertinent academic records.
Retention and Disposal of Permanent Records: The student
transcripts are filed permanently in the Office of Academic
Records.
Transcript Policies
Official Transcripts: The transcript of a student’s academic
record will be released by the registrar only upon receipt of a
student’s written request. No degrees will be awarded and no
transcript of credit will be issued until all financial obligations to
the University are discharged in full and a student’s academic file is
complete in the Office of Academic Records.
Unofficial Transcripts: Currently enrolled students may obtain an
unofficial student copy of their transcript from the Office of
Academic Records and may view and copy an unofficial copy of
their transcripts using their TNU4U web accounts.
Transcripts of Transfer Credit: A transcript of a student’s record
from another university or college is not forwarded to a third
institution. The student should request another transcript from the
original institution.
COURSE POLICIES
Appeals for Graduation Requirements, Course
Equivalencies, Substitutions, and Transfer Credits
The registrar makes decisions about course equivalencies and
substitutions concerning general education courses. Decisions
about major and minor courses are made by the registrar in
consultation with the school deans and program directors. These
decisions are made following catalog and program policies,
guidelines, and procedures. If students believe these processes have
not been followed with their program of study, they may appeal in
writing to the associate vice president for academic services who
has the right to make a final decision or refer the matter to the
Academic Council for resolution.
Academic Grievance Policy for Classes in Process
Students with grievances or problems with the way a particular
course is conducted and how their grades are being assigned
should submit their concerns in writing to their professor. If the
professor’s solution is not satisfactory, students may appeal to the
professor’s department chair in writing for a review of the
professor’s decision. If the department chair’s solution is not
satisfactory, students may appeal to the department chair’s school
dean for a final resolution. If a chair is the professor, the line of
appeal would be to the school dean and to the University provost.
If the professor is a dean, then the appeal would be to the
University provost.
Face to face discussions with professors and department chairs
about concerns are appropriate, but grievances and outcomes need
to be in writing to ensure that all decisions are made with a mutual
understanding of the issues.
If a final grade for the course has already been submitted to the
Office of Academic Records, the guidelines outlined in the Final
Grade Appeal Policy and Procedures (p. 53) section of the Catalog
should be followed.
Final Grade Appeal Policy and Procedures
Trevecca Nazarene University recognizes a student’s right to
appeal decisions and practices that affect his or her academic status
without fear of punishment or unfair treatment. A student can
expect the University to deal with a final course grade appeal
sincerely, objectively, within a reasonable time frame, and as
appropriate, in confidence. Appeals will be heard when the student
alleges that an arbitrary, capricious, or prejudiced evaluation or a
mechanical error has occurred. The purpose of the appeal process
is to treat all parties fairly and to alert all parties to the appeal
procedure. During the appeal, the burden of proof is on the
student, except in the case of alleged academic dishonesty, in which
case the professor must support the accusation. The student may
have an advisor or friend present during all meetings with faculty,
administrators, and/or committees; he or she may counsel the
student but may not speak for the student during the meetings.
The grade appealed shall remain in effect until the appeal process is
completed, or the problem is resolved.
Order of Appeal for Traditional Undergraduate Programs
(For the order of appeal for adult studies and graduate programs, see their
respective catalog supplements.)
Should a student feel there is concrete reason to appeal a course
grade, these procedures should be followed sequentially:
1. The University supports and encourages responsive and
respectful dialogue between faculty and students when there is
a disagreement about a final course grade. Whatever the nature
of the grade appeal, the student must make an effort to first
discuss the matter with the faculty member. In order to begin
the appeal process, students must initiate a complaint to the
faculty member in writing or via e-mail within 15 calendar days
of the posting of a final grade. The faculty member will provide
a written response within 15 calendar days of receiving the
letter or e-mail from the student.
2. If the student is not satisfied with the faculty member’s
response or lack of response, the student shall contact the
person designated in the table as the second level of appeal
(either the program director or department chair) within 30
calendar days of the posting of a final grade. The contact needs
to be in writing. Upon receipt of the written appeal, the
program director or department chair will communicate with
the student within 30 calendar days to attempt to resolve the
issue.
3. If after the meeting with the program director or department
chair, the student is still not satisfied with the decision, the
student may choose to file an appeal to the school dean in
which the course under appeal is housed. This appeal must be
54| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
in writing within 15 calendar days of the previous contact with
the program director or department chair. The dean will
contact the student within 15 calendar days of receiving the
appeal in an attempt to resolve the issue. The dean may elect to
include or consult with others in evaluating the appeal. The
decision of the dean is final.
The following diagram illustrates the order of appeals for
traditional undergraduate programs. In the event the professor
happens to be a department chair, program director, or dean, the
appeal will be submitted to the next higher academic officer. In
other words, every student will have the right to have his/her
appeal heard by the professor and two other academic
administrators.
The student may elect to discontinue the appeal process at any
level.
The failure of the student to proceed from one level of the appeal
procedure to the next level within the prescribed time limits shall
be deemed to be an acceptance of the decision previously
rendered. All further considerations and proceedings regarding that
particular appeal will cease at that point. Under unusual
circumstances, deadlines may be extended.
The following table illustrates the specific person to whom an
appeal is directed, depending upon the academic program in which
the course under appeal is offered. The three levels of appeal must
be followed sequentially.

Director of

Career Internships
A career internship is a credit-bearing course which places a
student in a professional setting in his or her career field. The
student is under the contract supervision of a professional for one
semester. The purpose is to provide the student an introduction to
job search skills, a clarity of career focus, an apprentice learning
experience, and networking opportunities for future career
employment.
Guidelines
• The student must be a junior or senior with a GPA of 2.5.
• The internship must be in the student’s major or career field.
• The student must be in good standing with the University.
• The internship site must enter into a learning contract with
Trevecca.
• The student must register for the internship during the
semester of participation in the internship.
Career Internships, offered only in majors where professional
experience is not already built into the required curriculum, are
coordinated by the coordinator of junior and senior year programs
(Center for Leadership, Calling, and Service) and require a faculty
sponsor within the academic department. Career Internship
planning should be initiated the semester prior to the internship
and must be done according to processes described in Trevecca
Internships Guidelines. A student may earn one, two, or three
credit hours per internship, with 55 work hours required for one
credit hour, 110 for two credit hours, and 165 for three credit
hours. A maximum of six credit hours total may be earned for all
internships. Two internships are recommended prior to graduation.
Class Attendance
Trevecca Nazarene University is committed to the idea that regular
class attendance is necessary for student success; consequently,
students are expected to attend all class sessions of courses for
which they are registered. When absent, the student is personally
responsible for all class work assigned in a course, even during the
absence, and should take the initiative to contact the instructor and
discuss an appropriate course of action. Attendance counts from
the first day of a course whether students are registered or not.
The total number of excused and unexcused absences for a student
cannot exceed 20% of the total class time.
Traditional Undergraduate Program Students
A course attendance policy is included on each university
traditional undergraduate course syllabus. The maximum numbers
of allowed absences in traditional face-to-face courses are
documented in the following table:
Weekly class meetings Allowed absences
1 3
2 6
3 9
4 12
A traditional undergraduate student enrolled in an online course
must meet the course attendance policy for an online course as
stated in the following section on “Students in Online Courses.”
Excused absences for traditional students are defined only as an
extended illness verified by a licensed medical professional,
participation in an approved university related event, or another
legitimate cause as determined by the instructor. University-related
events for which these students may be excused include, but are
not limited to, prearranged class-related field trips, official
assignments by the university, and participation in scheduled
intercollegiate athletic events. The Office of Academic Affairs
sends out notification to the campus for these events. For an
excused absence, the student must provide proper documentation
according to the course attendance policy. It is the student’s
responsibility to contact professors to make up work even in the
case of a university-related excused absence.
Non-traditional Undergraduate and Graduate
Students
A course attendance policy for each course in a non-traditional
face-to-face undergraduate or graduate program is included in the
course syllabus, program catalog, or program handbook. Students
are allowed one absence in courses that are five class sessions or
ACADEMIC POLICIES| 55
more in length and no absence in a course that has four class
sessions or fewer. There are no excused absences in these courses.
A non-traditional undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in an
online course must meet the course attendance policy for an online
course as stated in the following section on “Students in Online
Courses.”
Students in Online Courses
Students enrolled in online courses are allowed one absence in
courses that are five class sessions or more in length and no
absences in a course that has four class sessions or fewer. There are
no excused absences in these courses.
In an online course a student is reported absent for a week if there
is no participation during that week in an academically related
activity specific to the course, such as submitting an academic
assignment, taking an exam, an interactive tutorial, or computer-
assisted instruction, and participating in an online discussion on the
academic subject matter of the course with classmates and/or the
instructor.
Failure, Withdrawal, and Appeal
If a student has missed more than the allowed number of absences
in a given course for any reason, the student automatically fails the
course unless the student officially withdraws from the course or
an appeal, initiated by the student, is approved.
A form for appealing a failure due to excessive absence may be
obtained on TNU4U. To officially withdraw from all courses for
which a student is registered, the student must complete the
appropriate forms in the Office of Academic Records. This
withdrawal process is necessary in order to clear the appropriate
financial and academic records. Protracted absences or failure to
attend classes does not constitute withdrawal from courses and will
be treated as failure unless the withdrawal process is appropriately
followed.
Class Schedule
A schedule of classes and examination times is published each year
for the next school year. The University reserves the right to cancel
a class with fewer than ten students enrolled and to make necessary
changes in schedules and programs.
Directed Study
A limited amount of directed study is available for students to do
individual research, special problems, and further study in a
particular subject area. Regular courses are not to be taken by
directed study except in cases regarding unavoidable class schedule
conflicts with graduation requirements in the senior year. Students
are expected to arrange their work schedules to accommodate class
schedules and should not request directed studies to accommodate
work schedules. When regular courses are taught by directed study,
they must have essentially the same requirements as those taught in
the classroom, including exams. A student is limited to one course
of directed study per term and a total of 12 hours credit by directed
study. Students on academic probation are not permitted to take
any courses by directed study. A failed course may not be repeated
by directed study. Directed studies require the approval of the
professor, the professor's department chair, and school dean. A fee
is charged for a directed study. Post Baccalaureate students must
pay regular tuition rate plus the directed study fee.
Examinations
A minimum of a mid-term and final exam are required in regular
courses, although some courses may have three or four exams.
Final examinations must be taken at officially scheduled times.
Permission will not be given to take final examinations early.
All exceptions for finals given at a later time must be approved by
the school dean who schedules the course. Final exam schedules
are available online and on class syllabi the first day of class.
Therefore, students are responsible to ensure that all travel
arrangements are made so that all exams can be completed as
scheduled.
Technology Policy
The Trevecca Nazarene University computer network (TNUnet)
exists to further the University’s academic, research and spiritual
goals. Anyone who accesses resources on TNUnet is expected to
practice common sense, decency and courtesy to all Trevecca
Nazarene University (TNU) students, faculty, staff, and
administrators. Acceptable Use Policies have been established for
TNUnet, e-mail, internet, and wireless access. By using the
technology provided by Trevecca Nazarene University, you agree
to abide by these policies. Any violation of these University
policies may result in disciplinary action, including the
termination of your network, e-mail, and/or internet access.
The Acceptable Use Policies can be found at the following
location: http://its.trevecca.edu
Withdrawals from Courses
A student withdrawing from a course will receive a grade of W in a
class anytime from the last day to add a class up to the calendar-
scheduled last day to withdraw with a W. After that published date,
students who withdraw will receive a grade of F unless they appeal
to the school dean who schedules the course, who may approve a
W for extenuating circumstances. No student may withdraw during
the week and a half before finals. If the student withdraws from
any course without following the proper procedure with the Office
of Academic Records and Office of Student Accounts, the grade in
the course will be recorded as F. Students may not withdraw from
required interdepartmental courses.
Withdrawals, especially if student status drops to part-time, may
affect financial aid, athletic eligibility, veteran status, insurance
benefits, and graduation plans. Students should consult appropriate
advisors prior to processing withdrawals.
A student who finds it necessary to withdraw from all of his or her
courses must secure the proper forms from the Office of
Academic Records and complete them to ensure accurate grades
and financial arrangements. The Office of Academic Records
processes all withdrawals and is responsible for recording the
student’s last date of attendance.

ensure the accuracy of that information. A copy of the written
institutional policy may be obtained from the Office of Academic
Records.
PRIVACY—Trevecca Nazarene University informs students
annually through the Student Handbook of the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This act, with which
the institution intends to comply fully, was designed to protect the
privacy of education records, to establish the right of students to
inspect and review their education records, to provide guidelines
for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through
informal and formal hearings, and to establish guidelines for the
release of or access to student records. Students also have the right
to file complaints with the Family Educational Right and Privacy
Act Office (FERPA) concerning alleged failures by the institution

Academic Honesty
Academic honesty is expected of all students at Trevecca Nazarene
University.
It is an integral part of the educational process where learning takes
place in an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. Each student is
responsible to maintain high standards of academic ethics, personal
honesty, and moral integrity. Dishonest academic behavior as
described in the following list will be dealt with fairly and firmly.

who has another individual impersonate or in any other way
commit identity fraud in any course, assignment, exam, or any type
of academic exercise will be permanently suspended from Trevecca
Nazarene University.
Intellectual Property Rights Policy
This policy is meant to encourage and support faculty, staff, and
student research; to protect the rights and interests of university
constituents as well as the university itself; and to provide
university constituents with information that will guide
understanding of intellectual property and its application at
Trevecca Nazarene University. All full-time or part-time faculty,
administrators, and staff, student employees, and students, as well
as non-employees who participate or intend to participate in
teaching and/or research or scholarship projects at Trevecca
Nazarene University are bound by this policy.
Trevecca Nazarene University is committed to complying with all
applicable laws regarding copyright and other forms of intellectual
property. Furthermore, this policy shall not be interpreted to limit
the university's ability to meet its obligations for deliverables under
any contract, grant, or other arrangement with third parties,
including sponsored research agreements, license agreements, and
the like.
Questions of ownership, compensation, or other materials covered
by this policy shall be resolved by the Executive Vice President (or
his/her designee) in consultation with the University Provost and
others, as appropriate.
COPYRIGHT, PATENTS, AND TRADEMARKS
A. COPYRIGHT
General Copyright Policy
Trevecca Nazarene University's policy is that all rights in copyright
remain with the creator unless the work is a "work for hire," is
commissioned by the university, or is otherwise subject to
contractual obligations.
Definition and Scope of Copyright Protection
Under the federal copyright law, copyright subsists in "original
works of authorship" that have been fixed in any tangible medium
of expression from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or
otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a
machine or device. These works include:
1. literary works such as books, journal articles, poems, manuals,
memoranda, tests, computer programs, instructional material,
databases, and bibliographies;
2. musical works, including any accompanying words;
3. dramatic works, including any accompanying music;
4. pantomimes and choreographic works (if fixed, as in notation
or videotape);
5. pictorial, graphic and sculptural works, including photographs,
diagrams, and sketches;
6. motion pictures and other audiovisual works, such as
videotapes;
7. sound recordings; and
8. architectural works.
Scope of Copyright Protection
Subject to various exceptions and limitations provided for in the
copyright law, the copyright owner has the exclusive right to
reproduce the work, prepare derivative works, distribute copies by
sale or otherwise, and display or perform the work publicly.
Ownership of copyright is distinct from the ownership of any
material object in which the work may be embodied.
Books, Articles, and Similar Works, Including Unpatentable
Software
In accord with academic tradition, except to the extent required by
the terms of funding agreements, Trevecca Nazarene University
does not claim ownership to pedagogical, scholarly, or artistic
works, regardless of their form of expression. Such works include
those of students created in the course of their education, such as
papers, theses, and articles. The university claims no ownership of
popular nonfiction, novels, poems, musical compositions,
unpatentable software, or other works of artistic imagination that
are not institutional works (see below under “Work for Hire").
Copyright in pedagogical, scholarly, or artistic works to which the
university disclaims ownership under this policy shall be held by
the creators regardless of whether the work constitutes a "work for
hire" under copyright law.
Ownership and Use of Course Materials (including class
technology and videotapes of classroom activities)
All course materials, such as syllabi, videotapes of classroom
activities, websites, and such, developed by a Trevecca Nazarene
faculty member belong to the faculty member unless grant or other
outside funding sources dictate otherwise. Faculty ownership of
such course materials does not, however, entitle the faculty
member to any additional compensation from the university as a
result of appropriately enrolled students' use of such materials.
Faculty ownership of such course materials also does not preclude
the university from using such materials for internal instructional,
educational, and administrative purposes, including satisfying
requests of accreditation agencies for faculty-authored syllabi and
course descriptions. Materials brought to Trevecca from other
institutions are bound by any ownership constraints from the
institution at which they were developed; barring none, they belong
to the faculty member.
The use of images or materials of students for use outside of a
currently enrolled class is not permitted without a signed release
from students. This includes videotaping, website images, and class
materials where the expectation of a student is that their purpose is
for that particular course. If the purpose of the class is to create a
website, video or other materials for future courses, this
permission is not needed.
58| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
"Work for Hire"
"Work for hire" is a legal term defined in the Copyright Act as "a
work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her
employment." For instance, work assigned to programmers is
"work for hire" as defined by law, as is software developed for
university purposes by students and staff working collaboratively.
This definition includes works prepared by employees in
satisfaction of sponsored agreements between the university and
outside agencies. Certain commissioned works also are works for
hire if the parties so agree in writing. The mere fact that multiple
individuals have contributed to the creation of a work shall not
cause the work to constitute an institutional work. Where a work is
jointly developed by university faculty or staff or student
employees and a non-university third-party, the copyright in the
resulting work typically will be owned jointly by the university and
the third party. In such instances, both the university and the other
party would have nonexclusive rights to the work, subject to the
duty to account to each other.
The university shall retain ownership of works created as
institutional rather than personal efforts—that is, works created by
administrators and staff for university purposes in the course of
the creators' employment, university-commissioned faculty work,
or works resulting from simultaneous or sequential contributions
over time by numerous faculty, staff, and/or students. The
employer (i.e., the university) by law is the "author," and hence the
owner, of works for hire for copyright purposes; therefore,
Trevecca Nazarene University owns all rights, intellectual and
financial, in such works. Administrators, faculty, and staff who gain
professional expertise through such work, however, may engage in
professional activities (conferences, consulting, and such) that may
result in compensation.
Works of Non-employees
Under the Copyright Act, works of non-employees such as
consultants, independent contractors, and such generally are
owned by the creator and not by the university, unless there is a
written agreement to the contrary. As it is the university’s policy
that the university shall retain ownership of such works (created as
institutional rather than personal efforts, as described in "Work for
Hire"), Trevecca will generally require a written agreement from
non-employees that ownership of such works will be assigned to
the university. Examples of works that the university may retain
from non-employees are reports by consultants or subcontractors,
computer software, architectural or engineering drawings,
illustrations or designs, and artistic works.
Use of Copyrighted Material
Trevecca Nazarene University is committed to complying with all
applicable copyright laws; consequently, students and employees
are expected to comply with these laws. Distribution of materials
protected by copyright without permission of the copyright owner
may be a violation of federal or state law. It is the responsibility of
those reproducing materials to make sure the reproduction is
consistent with U.S. Copyright Law (http://www.copyright.gov/).
Trevecca Nazarene University does not permit the unlawful
reproduction or distribution of commercially copyrighted music,
movies, and software. The university is committed to taking
reasonable steps to avoid misuse of its computer network. If
violations are discovered or suspected, university personnel may
report infringement to appropriate authorities or take other action,
including, but not limited to warning the user, removing the
material, or terminating access to the material.
Use of the University Name in Copyright Notices
The following notice should be placed on university-owned
materials:
Copyright © [year] Trevecca Nazarene University. All Rights
Reserved.
No other institutional or departmental name is to be used in the
copyright notice, although the name and address of the department
to which readers can direct inquiries may be listed. The date in the
notice should be the year in which the work is first published, i.e.
distributed to the public or any sizable audience.
Additionally, works may be registered with the United States
Copyright Office using its official forms
(http://www.copyright.gov/forms/).
Reconveyance of Copyright to Creator
When copyright is assigned to Trevecca Nazarene University
because of the provisions of this policy, the creator of the
copyrighted material may make a request to the executive vice
president that ownership be reconveyed back to the creator. Such a
request can, at the discretion of the executive vice president, be
granted if it does not: (1) violate any legal obligations of or to the
university, (2) limit appropriate university uses of the materials, (3)
create a real or potential conflict of interest for the creator, or (4)
otherwise conflict with university goals or principles.
B. PATENTS
Trevecca Nazarene University is an educational institution whose
fundamental mission is to provide outstanding higher educational
programs. The university recognizes that research, particularly that
involving collaborative investigations with students and faculty, is a
significant component of the educational process.
All potentially patentable ideas and inventions developed in whole
or in part by university personnel in the course of their
employment, or with more than incidental use of Trevecca
Nazarene University resources, shall be disclosed in writing to the
executive vice president. Written disclosure should include the (1)
name of the inventor, (2) what was invented, (3) circumstances that
led to the invention, and (4) the information as to what might be
subsequent activities surrounding the invention. The Executive
Team will then review the invention disclosure information
submitted to decide if the university should seek a patent using
university funds or to decline further action. If the university
refuses to pursue application of the idea/invention, the inventor
may then seek other aid outside the university to assess the
patentability of the invention. If no action is taken, all patent rights
revert to the inventor.
If there is positive action on an application, the university may
wish to pursue evaluation of the invention from technical
development consultants to ascertain whether there is sufficient
interest and financial return that would make the acquisition of a
patent feasible.
The remaining steps in the process are:
1. A patent is obtained or institutional steps are put into place to
protect the invention as a trade secret. These steps may ensure
ACADEMIC POLICIES| 59
that, in the event of not immediately applying for a patent,
proper protection is maintained and limited disclosure and
publication are delayed to a later date.
2. A patent, if any, is licensed and royalties are earned.
3. Legal enforcement of patent rights begins.
Sharing of Royalties
Royalty distribution will be as follows. First, 100 % will accrue to
the university for recovery of costs associated with the
patent/license development. This would include all fees for
preparing and prosecuting patents. All marketing and licensing fees
would also be included. Second, the remaining income would be
distributed between the university (60% of gross royalties) and the
inventor(s) or their heirs (40% of gross royalties). Under certain
conditions, the university may agree to accept a negotiated
percentage of equity in place of all or some portion of the license
or royalty fee(s).
C. TRADEMARKS
Trade and service marks are distinctive words or graphic symbols
identifying the original source of goods or services. Trade or
service marks relating to goods or services distributed by the
university shall be owned by the university. Examples include
names and symbols used in conjunction with the university
wordmark and logo and those names or symbols associated with
university athletics, events, programs, software, or activities.
Policies for Research Involving Human Subjects
Institutional Review Board
Trevecca Nazarene University's Institutional Review Board (IRB)
is responsible for ensuring compliance with established federal and
university procedural and ethical guidelines for research.
The mission of the Institutional Review Board is to:
1. Guard and protect the rights and well-being of human subjects,
2. Promote the integrity of researchers in demonstrating
leadership and compassion in dealing with their research
subjects,
3. Foster community respect for Trevecca's process in carrying
out quality research while ensuring the dignity of research
participants,
4. Ensure compliance with established federal and university
procedural and ethical guidelines.
Responsibilities
The Institutional Review Board will review all research involving
human subjects. The IRB may approve, modify, or disapprove any
research project not meeting the principles and ethical constraints
of governmental or university guidelines concerning treatment of
human subjects. The board will be responsible to review initial
projects, projects continuing past a 12-month time frame, and any
project where the methodology changes substantively.
Researchers under the auspices of the Institutional Review
Board
Everyone whose research involves human subjects should submit
an application for approval:
1. All Trevecca faculty, staff, and administrators
2. All doctoral candidates
3. All students doing non-class related research (must be under
the supervision of a faculty mentor)
4. All non-Trevecca persons applying to use Trevecca's students,
faculty, staff, or administrators in their research
5. All faculty members requiring class-related research must
submit a general outline of their students' projects to ensure the
safety of human subjects and to establish accountability.
Training
Any research involving humans or human tissues conducted under
the auspices of Trevecca Nazarene University must be reviewed by
the Trevecca Nazarene University Institutional Review Board
(IRB). Research with minimal involvement of human participants,
such as surveys or questionnaires, require some procedural IRB
review. Anyone whose research project requires IRB review must
submit a completed certificate indicating that he or she has
completed the training.
The following people may require training, depending on their
research:
Doctoral students
Doctoral advisors
Students whose thesis research involves human subjects
Thesis advisors of students whose thesis research involves
human subjects
Students conducting non-class-related research under the
guidance of a faculty member
Researchers applying to use Trevecca Nazarene University's
students, faculty, staff or administrators in their research

SCHOOL OF GRADUATE AND CONTINUING
STUDIES
The School of Graduate and Continuing Studies is the primary unit
at the University providing services to non-traditional students
enrolled in adult degree completion programs, graduate studies,
and online courses within the five university schools. The services
include marketing, recruitment, admissions, and enrollment help
for students in all non-traditional programs. In some cases, the
SGCS is involved with student advising, providing student support
services, course and faculty scheduling, and improving the
instructional use of technology. The goal of the unit is to provide
all services necessary and desired by each of the schools to ensure
the highest level of effectiveness with the greatest efficiency.
OFF-CAMPUS STUDIES
Trevecca offers a number of off-campus for-credit learning
opportunities to students. Because of the nature of these programs,
students are advised to work with the financial aid office to
determine whether or not aid is available to them for a particular
program.
Council for Christian Colleges and Universities
Trevecca Nazarene University is one of 121 members in the
Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, a Washington
D.C.-based organization which was founded in 1976. Students
benefit directly from Trevecca's involvement in the CCCU through
participation in Culture-Shaping Programs including the
Washington-based American Studies Program (ASP), the Los
Angeles Film Studies Center (LAFSC), the Contemporary Music
Center (CMC), the Washington Journalism Center (WJS) in
Washington D.C., and the Culture-Crossing Programs including
the Australia Studies Centre (ASC), the Latin American Studies
Program (LASP) in Costa Rica, the Oxford Summer Programme
(OSP) at Oxford University, the Middle-East Studies Program
(MESP) in Cairo, the China Studies Program (CSP), the Scholars'
Semester in Oxford (SSO), the India Studies Program (ISP), and
the Uganda Studies Program (USP). A partial description of each
program as presented by CCCU is listed below. Eligibility
requirements and detailed program descriptions are available at
www.bestsemester.com. Trevecca generally assigns credit as
recommended by the individual programs. Some offer specific
course credits; others offer variable credits. While Trevecca works
with other institutions in the offering of these credits, matters
related to approval, acceptance of coursework, the assignment of
grades, and course titles and descriptions are determined by
Trevecca personnel and must be in compliance with Trevecca's
policies and procedures.* Application materials and information on
these programs can be secured from the Center for Leadership,
Calling and Service. Completion of Trevecca application materials
should be prerequisite to processing the online application
available on the BestSemester Web site. Because of the nature of
these programs, students are advised to work with the financial aid
66| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG

office to determine whether or not aid is available to them for a
particular program.
*Note: When the possibility of 18 credit hours is indicated, enrollment requires
prior approval of the program and the home campus.
American Studies Program
Since 1976, the American Studies Program has served as an
experiential learning laboratory for students committed to
connecting their faith to public affairs. Nearly 500 of ASP's 3,000+
alumni have returned to work in the DC metro area in a variety of
professional fields—private and public, for-profit and non-profit.
Each student enrolls in the program's two practicum courses:
Internship and Topics in Leadership & Vocation. Students have
the option of enrolling in a one-credit Professional Mentorship
course. In addition, students apply to either the Global
Development Enterprise track or the Public Policy Initiatives track.
The Global Development track focuses on partnership initiatives
taken by leaders in commercial, governmental and non-
governmental organizations as they explore the impact they can
achieve by collaborating to address issues of sustainable
development worldwide. The Public Policy track equips and
supports students in their analysis of a pressing public policy issue.
Each student produces original research by engaging area experts
and practitioners off-site and in the classroom as they investigate
the local, national, and global factors that influence policy-making
in Washington, DC. ASP students earn 15–16 semester hours of
credit.
Contemporary Music Center
The Contemporary Music Center provides students with the
opportunity to live and work in the refining context of community
while seeking to understand how God will have them integrate
music, faith and business. The CMC offers three tracks: Artist,
Business, and Technical. The Artist Track is tailored to students
considering careers as vocalists, musicians, songwriters, recording
artists, performers and producers. The Business Track is designed
for business, arts management, marketing, communications, and
related majors interested in possible careers as artist managers,
agents, record company executives, music publishers, concert
promoters and entertainment industry entrepreneurs. The
Technical Track prepares students for careers in live sound,
concert lighting, and studio recording. Students within each of the
tracks receive instruction, experience, and a uniquely Christ-
centered perspective on creativity and the marketplace, while
working together to create and market a recording of original
music. Each track includes coursework, labs, directed study, and a
practicum. CMC students earn 16 semester hours of credit.
Los Angeles Film Studies Center
Founded in 1991, the Los Angeles Film Studies Center trains
students to serve in various aspects of the film industry with
professional skill and Christian integrity. Each semester, students
live, learn and work in L.A. The curriculum consists of two
required seminars: Hollywood Production Workshop, a film
production course, and Faith and Artistic Development in Film,
focusing on the role of film in culture and the relationship of faith
to work in this very influential industry. In addition, students
choose one elective course: screenwriting, acting, film production,
or independent study. Internships in various segments of the film
industry provide students with hands-on experience. The
combination of the internship and seminars allows students to
explore the film industry within a Christian context and from a
liberal arts perspective. LAFSC students earn 16 semester hours of
credit.
Washington Journalism Center
The Washington Journalism Center (WJC) is a semester-long study
program in Washington, D.C., created for students interested in
the field of journalism. While in Washington students take classes
focusing on their reporting and writing skills and on the history
and future of the media. These classes—Foundations for Media
Involvement; Reporting in Washington; and Washington, News
and Public Discourse—combined with an internship at a top news
publication help students learn to integrate their faith in a
journalism career. Students also participate in service learning
opportunities as part of the WJC experience. WJC students earn 16
semester hours of credit.
Australia Studies Centre
The Australia Studies Centre (ASC) is offered in partnership with
Christian Heritage College (CHC), a CCCU affiliate member in
Carindale, a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland. The ASC is designed
to integrate the firsthand observation and study of Australian
culture, history, religion, politics and indigenous cultures together
with experiential service learning and formal instruction in
Christian Studies, Business, Ministries, Social Sciences and
Education and Humanities. Every student is required to take "The
View from Australia: Issues in Religion, Politics, Economics &
Cultural Values" and required to select either "Australian
Aboriginal Cultures" or "Indigenous Cultures in Australia &
Aotearoa (New Zealand)." Additionally, students choose two units
from CHC's offerings in Christian Studies, Business, Ministries,
Social Sciences or Education and Humanities. Students live with
Australian families and volunteer with local community service
providers. Trips vary from semester to semester but may include
excursions to the Australian Outback, Aboriginal Communities
and New Zealand. ASC students earn 16 semester hours of credit.
China Studies Program
The China Studies Program enables students to engage China’s
ancient history and intrigue from an insider’s perspective. While
immersed in Chinese culture, students participate in seminar
courses on the historical, cultural, religious, geographic and
economic realities of this strategic, populous, and extremely
influential nation. Students choose between completing a broad
Chinese Studies Concentration or a Business Concentration, which
includes an internship at a Chinese-owned and operated business
in China. Students also study standard Chinese language with a
goal of attaining the ability to handle everyday transactions in
Mandarin. The program begins the semester in Hong Kong and
introduces students to the diversity of China, including the capital
city of Beijing, legendary Shanghai, ancient Xi’an and beautiful
seaside Xiamen. This interdisciplinary, cross-cultural program
enables students to communicate and understand the unique
culture and people of China with an informed, Christ-centered
perspective. CSP students earn 15-18* semester hours of credit.
PROGRAMS BY SCHOOLS AND DEPARTMENTS| 67

Latin American Studies Program
Based in San José, Costa Rica, the Latin American Studies Program
introduces students to a wide range of experiences through the
study of the language, literature, culture, politics, history,
economics, ecology and religion of the region. Through living with
local families, students become a part of the day-to-day lives of
Latin Americans. Students also take part in a practicum/internship
and travel to nearby Central American nations. Students participate
in one of four concentrations: Latin American studies (offered
both fall and spring terms); advanced language and literature
(designed for Spanish majors and offered both fall and spring
terms); international business (offered only in fall terms); and
environmental science (offered only during spring terms).
Depending on their concentration, students travel to nearby
Central American nations. LASP students earn 16-18* semester

Middle East Studies Program
Based in Jerusalem, Israel, this program offers students a unique
opportunity to explore and interact with the complex and
strategically important world of the modern Middle East. Students
explore diverse religious, social, cultural and political traditions of
Middle Eastern peoples through interdisciplinary seminars. They
also study the Arabic language and volunteer with various
organizations. Through travel in the region (recently Israel,
Palestinian areas, Jordan, Tunisia, and Turkey), students are
exposed to the diversity and dynamism of the local culture. At a
time of tension and change in the Middle East, MESP encourages
and equips students to relate to the Muslim, Eastern Christian and
Jewish worlds in an informed, constructive and Christ-centered
manner. MESP students earn 16 semester hours of credit.
Scholars' Semester in Oxford
The Scholars’ Semester in Oxford is designed for students who
want to study intensively and to a high standard. Students develop
their academic writing and research skills and explore the
disciplines and interests of their choice. As Visiting Students of
Oxford University and members of Wycliffe Hall, students study in
the oldest university in the English speaking world. SSO students
enroll in a primary and secondary tutorial, an integrative seminar,
and the British landscape course. Second term students write a
thesis on a topic of their choice. Students group their work in a
concentration so that all elements of their programme work
together. SSO is designed for students interested in art history,
classics, English language and literature, history, modern languages
(French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian), musicology,
philosophy, and theology, though all majors may apply. SSO also
offers 18 thematic or integrative concentrations such as history and
philosophy of science and social sciences. Applicants are generally
honors and other very high-achieving students and must have at
minimum a 3.7 GPA to be considered for the programme. SSO
students earn 17 semester hours of credit for a semester and may
complete two semesters of the programme.
Oxford Summer Programme
The Oxford Summer Programme (OSP) allows students, as
affiliate members of Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford, to do
intensive scholarship in the oldest university in the English
speaking world. During the five-week programme, students hone
their research and writing skills and delve into the areas that
interest them the most while exploring the relationship between
Christianity and the development of the British Isles. Seminars and
tutorials are given on specialized topics under expert Oxford
academics in the areas of English language and literature, history,
including the history of art and history of science, philosophy, and
theology and the study of religion. The programme is structured
for rising college sophomores, juniors, and seniors, graduate and
seminary students, non-traditional students, teachers, and those
enrolled in continuing education programs. OSP students earn 6
semester hours of credit.
Uganda Studies Program
The Uganda Studies Program provides students with both
immersion in a local community and broad exposure to a variety of
people and places in Uganda. USP is offered in partnership with
Uganda Christian University (UCU) an international affiliate
member of the CCCU located 15 miles east of the capital city of
Kampala. Students either live on campus at UCU or with host
families within walking distance of the university. All students will
also participate in one or two short homestay experiences. As a
result, a spectrum of Ugandan relationships give USP students a
firsthand perspective as they explore issues such as poverty,
cultural expressions of Christianity and missions, and as they seek
to reconcile the realities of East Africa with their Christian faith.
Students also spend time in Rwanda and rural Uganda. The
experience-based and practicum courses are taught by CCCU
faculty while the African Context courses and courses from the
UCU curriculum are taught by UCU faculty. In addition to the

week travel portion of the program to provide students a close up
look at India's diversity. Students will participate in two core
courses designed to provide a broad overview of the historical,
religious, geographical and economic landscape of India. Building
on their basic understanding of India's past and contemporary
realities, students will have opportunities to explore a variety of
issues—poverty, social justice, rapid social change, religious
pluralism—through the eyes and experience of Indian Christians.
Rounding out the semester experience, students will also have the
opportunity to take courses in their major areas with Indian
students and professors. At its heart the India Studies Program
strives to encourage and equip students to effectively relate to
India and its people in an informed, constructive and Christ-
centered manner. ISP students earn up to 16 hours of credit.
Army ROTC
All university students in the Nashville area may participate in the
Army ROTC program at Vanderbilt University. While Vanderbilt
serves as the host university, students enrolled in other area
colleges and universities are not charged additional tuition to take
68| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG

military science courses. Grades are transferred back to each
university and added to the student’s transcript. A Trevecca
student who has successfully completed requirements for a
Trevecca bachelor's degree program and successfully completed
the Army ROTC program at Vanderbilt will receive a commission
in the Army, as well as the degree from Trevecca.
Students who are enrolled full time at Trevecca may take Army
ROTC courses at Vanderbilt University, and if credit is received
for the coursework, transfer the credit to Trevecca. A Trevecca
student who has earned a minimum of 18 credit hours in military
science courses will have his/her graduation requirement of a
Trevecca minor waived.
Students who participate in the Army ROTC program from area
schools receive all benefits, privileges, and compete for
scholarships on the same basis as full-time students enrolled at
Vanderbilt University. Upon graduation, there is an active duty or
reserve forces duty (Army Reserve or National Guard) obligation.
Army Officer Education (Army ROTC)
The Army Officer Education Program (ROTC) is a sequential and
progressive academic program that provides pre-commission
training for college-educated men and women who desire to serve
as commissioned officers in the active Army, Army Reserve, and
Army National Guard. As the Army’s largest commissioning
source, it fulfills a vital role in providing mature young men and
women for leadership and management positions in an increasingly
technological Army. Admission is open to both men and women
who meet mental, moral, and physical qualifications.
Training goes beyond the typical college classroom and is designed
to build individual confidence and self-discipline, instill values and
ethics, and develop leadership skills. The course load consists of
one course per semester. Each succeeding year will address course
topics in greater depth as students receive feedback on their
leadership style and assume positions of greater responsibility
within the program. Graduates are commissioned as Second
Lieutenants. Upon completion of training, all commissioned
officers will have follow-on employment in the Army Reserve,
National Guard, or active duty. Educational delays may be granted
for graduates who desire to pursue advanced degrees.
Scholarships. Students can earn merit scholarships in several ways.
High school seniors can compete for three- and four-year
scholarships through a centrally managed board. The application
window opens during the summer prior to applicants’ senior year.
Scholarships are also awarded through Vanderbilt University
through a local scholarship board. All students are eligible to
compete for scholarships. Scholarship students receive financial
benefits that cover the cost of full tuition scholarships each year,
an annual $1,200 book allowance, all uniforms, and a monthly tax-
free stipend beginning at $300 for freshmen and increasing to $500
for seniors. All students enrolled in the Army ROTC program are
provided textbooks and uniforms at no expense. Contracted non-
scholarship students also receive the monthly stipend from $300 to
$500 depending on the academic level. For more information, see
the Web site at www.goarmy.com/rotc.
Summer training. Students have the opportunity to attend several
training events over the summer:
• Cadet Leader Course — This five-week leadership exercise at Fort
Knox, Kentucky, is a commissioning requirement. This course
is normally completed between the junior and senior years.
Travel, room, and board are provided free, and cadets are paid
approximately $700.
• Cultural Understanding and Language Program (CULP) Internships —
Students are encouraged to spend a semester, special or
summer session in academic studies abroad if feasible. Special
incentives are available to further attract qualified students to
these valuable programs.
• Cadet Troop and Leadership Training Internships (CTLT) — CTLT
Internships are leadership development opportunities for
students who are placed with military organizations throughout
the world to gain perspective and understanding of the role of
the military officer.
• Cadet Professional Field Training (CPFT) — Airborne, Air Assault,
Mountain Warfare, Robin Sage (US Special Forces), Helicopter
Flight Training, and Sapper.
Other training opportunities exist for qualified applicants who are
interested.
Commissioning and career opportunities. A commission in the U.S. Army
is a distinctive honor earned through hard work, demonstrated
commitment, and a desire to serve the nation. Post-graduate
military education, usually starting within six months of graduation
and commissioning and continuing through the officer’s service
career, begins with the basic officer leadership course that qualifies
new lieutenants in their specific branch of service. Education
delays are available for critical specialties requiring postgraduate
civilian education such as law and medical degrees.
For more information, visit http://www.vanderbilt.edu/Army/ or
telephone the Enrollment Officer at 615-343-4834 or 615-322-
8550.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Continuing education courses are designed to meet the educational
needs of nontraditional students. A limited number of non-credit
educational activities are awarded Continuing Education Units. A
CEU is defined as “ten contact hours of participation in an
organized continuing education experience under responsible
sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction.” CEU
awards are offered occasionally by academic departments or
programs and may be earned as class or individual units. For
further information concerning a specific academic program,
contact the appropriate academic department, program, or the
Office of Academic Affairs.
Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)
Trevecca Nazarene University’s Quality Enhancement Plan topic is
undergraduate research. The goal of the QEP is to improve
student learning by engaging students in undergraduate research.
Trevecca defines “undergraduate research” broadly to include
creative works in the arts and scholarly work in the humanities, as
well as more traditional empirical research. Trevecca’s
undergraduate research program also emphasizes the role of faculty
members as mentors to student researchers. One of the most
distinctive qualities about Trevecca’s undergraduate programs is
PROGRAMS BY SCHOOLS AND DEPARTMENTS| 69

the sense of community that exists between students and faculty.
The undergraduate research program provides additional
opportunities for students and faculty members to collaborate.
Finally, Trevecca seeks to emphasize the process of acquiring
research skills, not just the outcome or result of the research.
Student Learning Outcomes
Through the QEP, students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate understanding of scholarship topics in their
discipline.
2. Demonstrate skills related to conducting scholarship in their
discipline.
3. Communicate their research findings through written,
performance, and/or oral presentations.
QEP Courses
Faculty-Led Academic Research Experiences (FLARE) (1-3)
Intensive participation as a team member in the completion of a
scholarly research or creative project. A faculty member will lead
each project and will mentor students throughout the project.
Enrollment is limited; application is required, and students are
selected by the faculty member leading the project.

School of Arts and Sciences General Information
The School of Arts and Sciences is composed of six academic
departments: the Department of Communication Studies, the
Department of English, the Department of Exercise and Sport
Science, the Department of Music, the Department of Science and
Mathematics, and the Department of Social and Behavioral
Sciences. Students who graduate from this school have both
professional expertise and a liberal arts education.
A liberal arts education has its origins in the Medieval University
and is a philosophy of education that empowers learners with
broad knowledge and transferable skills and a stronger sense of
values, ethics, and civic commitment. Usually global and diverse in
scope, it includes a general education curriculum that provides
broad exposure to multiple disciplines in addition to in-depth study
in at least one academic area. General Education courses are
offered through all six of the academic departments. Courses
leading to academic majors in many fields are also offered through
the School of Arts and Sciences.
The School of Arts and Sciences is concerned with the humane
dimensions of academic study. Course work offered in the School
emphasizes imparting general knowledge as well as professional,
vocational, or technical expertise. The School seeks to engender a
broader understanding of life and faith facilitated by liberal arts in
the context of the Christian faith. While students are prepared for
graduate study or a career through instruction, the school’s first
concern is an educated person prepared for leadership and service.

Co-Curricular Requirements for Dramatic Arts Majors and
Minors
The Trevecca Department of Communication Studies supports
and directs a required co-curricular program for all dramatic arts
majors and minors to supplement classroom theory, to encourage
students to receive practical training through participation, and to
benefit the University and surrounding communities.
The Trevecca Dramatic Arts Program presents 3-4 major dramatic
productions during the academic year. Students majoring and
minoring in dramatic arts must participate in 20 hours of some
aspect of each production for 6 semesters at Trevecca. The
semesters during which participation occurs do not need to be
consecutive. Participation is open to all members of the University
and local community. Likewise, dramatic arts majors and minors
must attend all senior project presentations each year.
Senior Project Requirements for Dramatic Arts Majors
All senior Dramatic Arts majors are required (either in the fall or
spring semester by choice) to present a performance project which
will be open to the general public. Projects must include a pre-
production prospectus, a performance component (acting,
directing, design, etc.). The project should relate to the student’s
specialized interest in the field, demonstrate his or her acquired
skills, and be academically and vocationally beneficial as a
culminative experience. (All dramatic arts majors and minors are
required to attend the projects of seniors.) Seniors will receive two
(2) credits for the senior project.

Department of English General Information
The Department of English offers a variety of course work leading
to the Bachelor of Arts degree in English or English Education, as
well as an Associate of Arts in Creative Writing, a minor in English
and a minor in Creative Writing. Through a series of three General
Education courses in English, all Trevecca students receive
instruction in writing and literature studies during their first two
years. Tutoring and enrichment programs in basic writing and
grammar are available through the Center for Leadership, Calling,
and Service. Introductory language courses in French, German,
Spanish, and Russian provide students an opportunity to explore
communication processes in other cultures.
Advanced programs of study in English may be effectively
combined with a complimentary second major or minor in such
areas as Secondary Education, Business Administration, Music,
Psychology, or Religion for students interested in various career
options.
As a capstone to the major, all English majors work with a faculty
advisor to prepare either a scholarly paper or collection of creative
writing which is presented in a public presentation. The creative
writing option is available only to those majors who are creative
writing minors or have received permission from the English
faculty. Those who choose the creative writing option must submit
a scholarly paper along with the creative writing collection.
Mission Statement
The English major seeks to prepare graduates who possess strong
reading, writing, and thinking skills, along with a creative
understanding of human relationships that will enable them to
succeed in professional and personal lives of service to the
community.
Student Learning Outcomes
Graduates with an English major will be able to:
1. Read written texts from various genres and periods with
comprehension.
2. Write clear scholarly papers which analyze and synthesize
information from multiple sources.
3. Interpret and evaluate literary works from various critical
approaches.
4. Demonstrate the knowledge necessary to gain admission into
an English graduate program.
5. Communicate effectively both in oral and written form.

Department of Music General Information
The Department of Music offers a Bachelor of Science in Music
Education, a Bachelor of Music in Theory and Composition, a
Bachelor of Science in Music (General), a Bachelor of Arts in
Music (Commercial), and an Associate of Arts in Music. Career
and service opportunities in music include audio engineering
aspects of the music industry, teaching in public and private
schools and colleges that offer programs in vocal or instrumental
music, songwriting, and professional singing and playing in
symphonies, opera, orchestras, recording studios, and various live
performance venues.
The Department's educational philosophy is based on the premise
that a student must experience the performing of music. Therefore,
each major program offers opportunities to perform with either
vocal or instrumental groups on campus in addition to the basic
core of music courses. Performing ensembles in the Department of
Music are the Choral Union, Gospel Choir, Madrigalians, Trevecca
Symphony Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Jazz
Combo, Commercial Vocal Ensemble, Vocal Edge, Commercial
Guitar Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble, Lab Band, Percussion
Ensemble, Lyric Theatre Ensemble, and various chamber groups.
Students who are not music majors may choose a minor in music,
elect courses in music, perform in ensembles, or study elective
applied music in order to broaden and enrich their appreciation of
the fine arts.
Trevecca Nazarene University is an accredited institutional
member of the National Association of Schools of Music. The
Music Education major is approved by the Tennessee Board of
Education and is part of the unit accredited by NCATE.
Mission Statement
The Department of Music seeks to train musicians holistically in
the achievement of essential skills, attitudes, and intellectual
understandings that are necessary to be competent in their desired
areas of vocation and to create opportunities for the appreciation
of and participation in music within the broader community.
Student Learning Outcomes
1. Demonstrate the ability to read and realize musical notation.
2. Demonstrate the ability to hear, identify, and work
conceptually with the elements of music: timbre, texture,
harmony, rhythm, melody, and structure.
3. Display an understanding of the compositional process and its
historical, cultural, and aesthetic contexts.
4. Display an acquaintance with a wide selection of musical
literature, the principal eras, genres, and cultural sources.
5. Display the ability to develop and defend musical judgments.
6. Music Education students will demonstrate the skills,
knowledge, and aptitude necessary to assume the role of a
professional educator through their upper level practica and
student teaching.
7. In addition to these outcomes, students pursuing a degree in
Music Education will be responsible for the goals listed as part
of the Conceptual Framework found in the School of
Education's General Information section (p. 176) of the
catalog.
Department Regulations
Students choosing to major in music should be prepared to sing or
play representative works from their repertoire for placement into
class, elective, or private instruction. Additional placement
procedures include proficiency examinations in music theory
(written and aural), basic technology, and functional keyboard
skills. Placement in the appropriate theory classes and piano class
will be based on these examinations.
Students pursuing the Music Education major must make formal
application to the Teacher Education Program as outlined in the
School of Education teacher education guidelines.
Applied Study
Applied study is required of all music majors.
Minimum requirements differ according to each degree program as
follows:
Department of Music
94| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
Music Education
4 - 8 credit hours of Lower Division applied study over 4
semesters and 3 - 6 credit hours of Upper Division applied
study over 3 semesters.
General
4 - 8 credit hours of Lower Division applied study over 4
semesters and 4 - 8 credit hours of Upper Division applied
study over 4 semesters.
Commercial
Vocal students will take 4 semesters (4-8 hours) of MUS study in
which the literature will move from classical study to non-belting
musical theatre styles and then 4 semesters (8 hours) of upper
division commercial study.
Instrumental students will take 4 semesters of lower division study
in both classical and commercial studies simultaneously (8 hours)
and then 4 semesters of upper division study in commercial music
(4-8 hours).
Students enrolled in degree programs requiring a Senior Recital
must first pass an applied examination at the end of their 4th
semester to be admitted into Upper Division and must pass a
Senior Recital Jury 4 weeks prior to Senior Recital to be able to
present their recital.
Retention Policy for Applied Study
The Department of Music's retention policies are delineated in the
student handbooks under the subsection "Evaluation of Majors."
There are three primary checkpoints: Entry Level, Midpoint Check,
and Exit Level.
Evaluation of Majors
I. Entry Level - Any student wanting to become a Music Major
must take the following diagnostics to determine where they
should be placed in the curriculum at entry level. Both the Written
Theory and Applied diagnostics must be successfully passed to
become a Music Major. Until the time that these two diagnostics
are successfully passed, a student may hold the status of a
Provisional Music Major. If a student fails to move from the
Provisional status after two semesters of study, the faculty will
recommend that he or she pursue another degree.
Entry level diagnostics:
1. Keyboard Placement (placement in appropriate class piano or
private piano)
2. Written Theory Exam (placement in MUS 1000 Fundamentals
or MUS 2010 Theory I)
3. Aural Theory Exam (placement in Aural Theory I-IV;
enrollment in Aural Theory I will be co-requisite to enrollment
in Theory I [written])
4. Basic Technology self-diagnostic or ITI 1900 Business
Information Technologies
5. Applied placement for all students. (Students' performing skills
will be evaluated with the departmental rubric, which will be
used in subsequent evaluations at the mid-point and exit level
evaluations to track progress of these skills.)
a. Students who pass will move directly to applied lessons.
b. Voice and guitar majors who do not pass will be placed in
class study or elective study.
c. Other instrumental students who do not pass will be placed
in elective study.
II. Midpoint Check - Students will be evaluated at the end of
their fourth semester of study to determine if they show the
aptitude to continue into upper division study. Three areas will be
used to evaluate these students.
1. Piano proficiency. Music Liberal Arts (General) students and
Music Education students should have passed their piano
proficiency by their 4th semester or be enrolled in Class Piano
IV with at least a B- average while Music Liberal Arts
(Commercial) students should have passed their piano
proficiency or be enrolled in Class Piano II with at least a B-
average.
2. 4th semester jury/Applied proficiency. Students must pass their
4th semester jury with the requisite scores on the appropriate
rubric.
3. A general understanding of music as evidenced by a GPA of at
least 2.5.
4. Students must declare Senior Recital/Project/Performance
track.
If a student is deficient in one area, they will be given a semester to
rectify the issue. If the student fails to do so, the faculty will
recommend that the student should not continue to pursue this
degree. If a student is deficient in more than one area, the faculty
will recommend that the student should not continue to pursue the
degree immediately after the fourth semester.
III. Exit Level
1. Senior Recital, Senior Performance for the Music Major, or
Senior Project (Music Technology, Songwriting, Worship
Leading or Composition)
2. Student Teaching (Music Education Majors only)
Upper Division Study Options
The following lessons and practicum/internships may replace
upper division applied lesson requirements if students are pursuing
the appropriate Senior Project. Senior Project/Senior Recital
requirements are notated.

DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC| 95
• One (1) credit hour of applied lessons to receive a weekly half-
hour lesson. Fee charged
• Two (2) credit hours of applied lessons to receive a weekly one-
hour lesson. Fee charged
One 30-minute lesson requires a minimum of 4-6 hours outside
practice weekly for Lower Division study and 4-6 hours outside
practice weekly for Upper Division study.
A 50-minute weekly seminar is also required for students taking
applied lessons.
Ensembles
Any student may apply for membership in one or more of the
departmental ensembles which provide opportunity for a variety of
musical experiences through performances. Music majors and
minors are required to participate in an appropriate ensemble each
semester they are enrolled in applied study until they have
completed the appropriate program requirements; i.e., all vocal and
keyboard students enroll in Choral Union; orchestral students
(excluding those who play string instruments who enroll in the
Trevecca Symphony Orchestra) enroll in Wind Ensemble; guitar
students enroll in Guitar Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Lab band, or
Commercial Guitar.

Department of Exercise and Sport Science General Information
Department Overview
Within the Department of Exercise and Sport Science students can
pursue undergraduate majors in Physical Education and Health
Teaching (K-12 licensure), Sport Management, or Exercise Science.
The programs offer a comprehensive array of courses and
laboratory experiences designed to develop professionals for their
chosen vocation or in some cases, preparation for continued
education in graduate programs. The teaching major is approved
by the Tennessee Board of Education and is part of the unit
accredited by NCATE. The Sport Management major has a choice
of two different areas of concentration, while the Exercise Science
major has a choice of three different concentration areas, some of
which are preparation for those wanting to do graduate work in a
health care degree or other related areas. Both majors include
practicums that are designed to extend the student's learning
experience by working in organizations that are appropriate for the
student's career interest.

Pre-Professional Programs
Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental/Pre-Veterinary/Pre-
Physician Assistant/Pre-Pharmacy
Students typically major in either Biology or Chemistry with a
minor in the other.
One year of General Physics is required. Individual counseling is
given to each student as needed. Students are responsible for
obtaining specific course requirements for the medical, dental,
veterinary, physician assistant or pharmacy programs to which they
are planning to apply.
Pre-Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is a health care profession whose practitioners
work as members of a multidisciplinary group of health personnel
to help people overcome the effects of disease and injury and to
prevent potential problems. Physical therapists treat their patients
in a variety of settings such as private offices, nursing homes,
home health agencies, public and private schools, academic
institutions, and hospices. Physical therapists also work as
educators, researchers, and consultants in a wide variety of
organizations.
Students seeking admission to the field of physical therapy through
a program in the Department of Science and Mathematics will
major in Biology or Chemistry and must obtain a list of pre-
requisites from their graduate physical therapy program choice to
fulfill during their bachelor's degree program.
Trevecca Nazarene University/Vanderbilt
University Pre-Engineering —Engineering
Transfer Agreement
Students who wish to combine study in a pre-engineering
curriculum with further study in an engineering discipline may do
so under a transfer agreement between Trevecca Nazarene
University and Vanderbilt University. Under this agreement, a
student will spend the first three years of his or her college career
at Trevecca Nazarene University taking the pre-engineering
curriculum, followed by two years at Vanderbilt University
studying in one of their engineering programs. The available
engineering programs are Biomedical Engineering, Chemical
Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer
Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. A
student who completes this five-year course of study will have had
the experience of dividing an academic career between the pre-
engineering environment of a Christian liberal arts university and
the engineering climate in a professional school.
During the first three years in the student's program, at least 99
hours of coursework in the Applied Physics major with required
support courses will be completed. After successful completion of
the pre-engineering requirements with a 3.5 or higher GPA, and
upon recommendation by the faculty at Trevecca Nazarene
University, the student will be qualified to transfer to Vanderbilt
University for the completion of an engineering degree. After
successful completion of one academic year of prescribed study in
an engineering discipline at Vanderbilt, Trevecca will accept in
transfer 09 hours of engineering coursework as electives for the 58
hours required in the major (major and required science and math
supporting courses) and a total of 21 hours to be applied toward
Trevecca’s 120-hour graduation requirement. If the student
subsequently continues with his/her study at Vanderbilt, and
successfully meets all prescribed completion requirements for a
Vanderbilt University engineering degree major, the student will be
awarded the appropriate credential.
Pre-Engineering for Students Planning to
Transfer to a University other than Vanderbilt
Requirements
Students should choose electives according to requirements of the institution to
which they plan to transfer for completion of their engineering degree. Usually
this choice will mean carefully selecting courses from a variety of areas—e.g.
social sciences, humanities, fine arts, etc.—to meet general education
requirements. Each student should bring a copy of the institution’s catalog to be
used with the Trevecca advisor during registration counseling.

Nursing
Nursing Program - BSN
Trevecca Nazarene University is a member of the Partners in
Nursing Consortium located on the campus of Belmont University
in Nashville. Students in the Partners Program enroll at Trevecca
Nazarene University where they complete general education and
pre-nursing courses, participate in Belmont’s Nursing Curriculum,
and graduate from Trevecca Nazarene University with a Bachelor
of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
Mission Statement
The purpose of the Partners in Nursing Consortium is to prepare
professional nurses for practice and service in a variety of health
care settings. The student’s education in the liberal arts, sciences,
and nursing will enable the graduate to contribute to improving the
quality of life for self, clients, and community. Students completing
the program of studies are prepared to continue life-long learning,
including graduate studies.
The goals of the Partners in Nursing Consortium are to:
• Educate and graduate significant numbers of students in the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and
• Assist Trevecca in meeting their own institutional goals and
serving their constituents
Student Learning Outcomes
Successful completion of the objectives/competencies of the
Trevecca Nazarene University undergraduate program in nursing
requires the students to:
1. Incorporate knowledge from the arts, humanities, natural, and
social sciences in nursing practice.
2. Demonstrate competency in applying problem-solving
methods and a professional ethic of relationship-centered care
in the nursing management of wellness and disease states
across the lifespan.
3. Utilize effective communication and information technology to
enhance nursing practice.
4. Incorporate multiple determinants of health in providing
nursing care related to health promotion, illness prevention,
health restoration, and rehabilitation.
5. Provide culturally sensitive health care for diverse populations
in a variety of health care settings.
6. Demonstrate ability to provide relationship-centered care while
providing stewardship of human and material resources.
7. Provide professional nursing care management of wellness and
disease states across practice environments.
8. Collaborate with members of the interdisciplinary health care
team to improve the delivery of health care to individuals,
families, groups, and communities.
9. Critique and use nursing research findings for applicability to

Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences General
Information
The Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences offers majors in
the following areas: History; History Education; History and
Political Science; Behavioral Science; Social Work; Criminal Justice
Studies; Sociology; and Psychology. Several minors are also
available: Art Therapy, History, Political Science, Social Science,
Behavioral Science, Sociology, Psychology, Counseling, Social
Work, Criminal Justice Studies, Family Studies, and Legal Studies.
History and the Social and Behavioral Sciences have always been
important areas of study at Trevecca Nazarene University.
Historians and social scientists alike believe that the perceptions of
people different from us in time, space, and life-expressions are
built upon our understanding of our own social and political
experience. The department’s goal, therefore, is to promote
understanding of modern societies through the methods of the
historian, the social scientist, and the behavioral scientist. Students
desiring to enter the professional fields of teaching, historic
preservation, museum-related work, law enforcement, social work,
criminal justice, personnel management, behavioral research, and
all levels of government service select history, history/political
science, social work, criminal justice studies, sociology, psychology
or behavioral science as major fields. In addition, minors in art
therapy, history, political science, psychology, counseling,
behavioral science, social science, social work, sociology, criminal
justice, family studies, and legal studies may be selected to back up
work in any area of study.
The program in History and Political Science offers Pre-Law
advising, which is often (but not necessarily) organized around a
history major or a history/political science major. Each student is
counseled to choose a course of study tailored to meet his or her
particular interests, which will maximize his or her chances of
gaining admittance to law school and successfully completing
graduate work in legal studies. Students planning to do graduate
legal studies should consider a legal studies minor.
The BS in Psychology is designed to assist all students in acquiring
an interpretation of human behavior which is in harmony with a
Christian view of people and is substantiated by the empirical
information of a solidly scientific psychology. The psychology
major will give students a solid base of preparation for graduate
study or for the post-baccalaureate work world.
The BSSW in Social Work, now in its third year of candidacy for
accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE),
prepares students for beginning generalist social work practice
from a Christian perspective. Students who feel called to work with
individuals, groups, families, communities or organizations and
help them develop their strengths, to make the world a better
place, to create social and economic justice, or help people achieve
a higher level of functioning, may want to consider social work as a
major. The curriculum emphasizes the foundations of beginning
generalist social work practice by including content on human
behavior; social welfare policy; at-risk populations; social work
research; social work practice with individuals, groups, families,
large organizations and communities; field practicum skills; social
work values and ethics; cultural diversity; and social and economic
justice.
Within the curriculum are incorporated both classroom learning
and a supervised field practicum. It is required that a student
complete a 400-hour field practicum. A broad spectrum of private
and public settings are utilized for the field practicum, including
child welfare agencies, nursing homes, hospices, hospitals,
substance abuse programs, mental health services, family service
agencies, services to older people, residential treatment programs,
adult day care centers, domestic violence programs, shelters,
criminal justice agencies, public schools, and public social services.
Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences
132| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
Upon graduation it is expected that Trevecca social work majors
will be competent for entry-level generalist social work practice
with individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities,
community service, and/or graduate work.
The BS in Criminal Justice Studies is designed for those who have
an interest in understanding the theories associated with the causes
of crime, the work performed by criminal justice professionals, and
the impact public policy decisions have on the operation of the
criminal justice system. The relationship of race, ethnicity, poverty
and other factors relative to criminal behavior, criminal
prosecution, and crime victimization are explored. Coursework and
practicum experience prepare students for a variety of careers in
the law enforcement community, emphasizing the importance of
ethical leadership with a Christian worldview.
The program in Sociology provides students with insights into
social factors that influence individuals, families, organizations,
communities and society at large. Emphasis is placed on the impact
of race, ethnicity, gender, age, and socioeconomic status as they
pertain to the interaction among members of society and social
change. Study in sociology encourages an appreciation of diversity
and an understanding of how humans interact with each other,
with their own cultures, with the environment, and with the global
society.
The BS in Behavioral Science is offered to allow students who wish
a broad background in Sociology, Psychology, and/or
Anthropology to obtain such study which is applicable to a variety
of career fields as well as graduate work in the behavioral sciences.
Students interested in behavioral science research, personnel
management, social services, and secondary level teaching might
choose a behavioral science major.

Social Work Program*
Social Work Competencies (Student Learning Outcomes)
Graduates with a major in social work will be prepared for
beginning generalist social work practice and graduate work. Upon
graduation, a social work major is expected to achieve eleven (11)
competencies. These competencies are based upon the
professional core competencies from the Council on Social Work
Education (CSWE) 2008 Educational Policies and Accreditation
Standards (EPAS). These competencies are also based on
knowledge that incorporates the uniqueness of geographical,
regional, and institutional needs, as well as the uniqueness of
Trevecca Nazarene University as a Christian university.
1. Students will demonstrate to faculty and field instructors an
understanding of what a professional social worker is and how
they conduct themselves.
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES| 141
2. Students will demonstrate an understanding of social work
ethical principles in the classroom and field practicum by
applying the NASW Code of Ethics.
3. Students will show they have an ability to use critical thinking
in making professional judgments.
4. Students will engage in diversity and differences in practice
through their field practicum settings.
5. Students will advance human rights and social and economic
justice through social work practices.
6. Students will demonstrate an ability to produce and practice
research-informed practice, and, with supervision, evaluate
their interventions.
7. Students will understand the bio-psycho-social-spiritual
variables that affect individual development and behavior and
apply these frameworks to people in their environment during
their field practicum.
8. Students will have an understanding of social policies, how they
affect client systems, workers, and agencies and display an
ability to use policy to advance the well-being of others
through effective social work services.
9. Students will demonstrate to their field supervisors and social
work faculty that they have the ability to respond to the
contexts that shape social work practice.
10. Students will demonstrate to their field supervisors that they
have the ability to engage, assess, intervene, and evaluate with
individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
11. Students will examine their personal beliefs, social work values,
and Christian values and be able to develop integrated personal
and professional value statements.
Admission Requirements
Requirements for formal admission to the social work program are
as follows:
1. Identified potential and suitability for the social work
profession as determined by the social work faculty. Indicators
for suitability are academic performance including consistent
class attendance and meeting deadlines, relationship skills
including the ability to non-judgmentally relate to people with
problems (ability to relate well to faculty and other students is
taken into consideration for this), emotional stability by not
allowing their own personal problems, psychosocial distress,
legal problems, substance abuse, or mental health difficulties to
interfere with their professional judgment and performance or
to jeopardize the best interests of people for whom they have a
professional responsibility (NASW Code 4.0.5a), and including
the ability to progress toward the growth necessary for self-
awareness for social work practice, and values consistent with
the standards of the Social Work Program and the University.
2. Successful completion of 30 semester hours including SWK
1200, PSY 2175, SWK 2300, SOC 2010, PSY 2010, ENG 1080
(each with a C- or better). If a student has not completed all
courses at the time of application, he or she can still apply, and
then full admission will be considered upon completion of the
courses.
3. A minimum overall GPA of 2.2.
4. Agreement to abide by the Social Work Program policies as
described in the social work student handbook and the NASW
Code of Ethics.
5. Interview by a minimum of two social work faculty.
6. Be in “good standing” with the University as determined by the
student development office.
Transfer Credits
Students who wish to transfer credits from other social work
programs must meet the following criteria:
1. Transfer credits from a CSWE accredited program or, if from
an unaccredited program, that student will be asked to present
comprehensive course syllabi to his/her social work academic
advisor. The advisor will initially determine if the course meets
the criteria for a required course in Trevecca’s program based
on whether it addresses the same competencies and practice
behaviors. Senior Field Practicum and Senior Seminar credits
are not allowed to be transferred into the Trevecca
Program. Senior Field Practicum and Senior Seminar must
both be taken at Trevecca through the Social Work
Program. The student then completes the necessary
substitution forms and brings those forms to the Program
Director to be reviewed and signed before the student either
takes them personally to Academic Records or they are sent by
campus mail to Academic Records. It is ultimately the
student’s responsibility to complete the process to petition for
acceptance of credit for previous courses taken.
2. Have the approval of the Social Work Program Director.
3. Meet the transfer admission requirements of Trevecca.
Life Experience or Previous Work Experience
The program does not grant credit for social work courses for
either life experience or previous work experience.
Procedures for Filing Application
To begin the formal admission process, the student obtains and
completes an application obtained from the Social Work Program
director’s office or the Program Handbook. The form is completed
in consultation with the faculty advisor, and an application for
admission is submitted to the program director’s office.
The application is to be completed when a student pre-registers
during fall semester for SWK 2200 Working with Individuals, and
all materials are due to the Social Work Program director’s office
by the end of the fall semester.
Interviews with the Social Work Program faculty will be scheduled
during the semester of SWK 2200, and the student will be notified
of the results prior to the pre-registration period.
Specific requirements and procedures including due process are
described in the social work program student handbook which is
available from the program office.
Conditional Acceptance
When the student comes for their interview they will sit down in
one of the Social Work Program faculty offices or the conference
room to talk about their desire to be a social work major, their
strengths, areas they might need to develop further, areas of
interest in social work, and future goals. Immediate feedback is
142| TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY 2015-2016 UNIVERSITY CATALOG
given to the student concerning any areas needing improvement
and some suggestions for doing so. If a student is determined to
have fallen below any of the criteria established for granting final
acceptance into the program, a contingency plan will be established
with the student. The plan can include:
1. Completing additional coursework if the GPA is too low.
2. Completing counseling to resolve personal issues that are
interfering with the ability to effectively communicate and
relate interpersonally with others.
3. Additional items based on student’s needs.
4. Completing required courses for admission.
After the interview, the Program Director and the Field Director
will meet together to discuss the interview, review the admission
materials, discuss observations and recommendations, and make a
decision regarding admission. Students will then be informed in
writing, through campus mail or U.S. mail, of one of the following:
1. Full admission to the BSSW major
2. Provisional admission with the specific conditions identified in
the letter to the student. Progress will be reviewed by the
Program Director each semester until full admission is
achieved. Students cannot be admitted to pursue Senior Field
Practicum until full admission is achieved.
3. Denial of admission with specific reason identified in a letter to
the student as per BSSW academic admission criteria.
If students are not satisfied with the decision, they may appeal the
decision by first setting up a meeting with the BSSW Director
either by email, phone, campus mail, or U.S. mail within two weeks
of receipt of notification of their denial. A time to meet with the
Program Director will be decided upon, preferably within two
weeks. The reason for the appeal must be specified clearly in a
typewritten letter submitted by email, campus mail, U.S. mail, or
given to the Program Director in person at the meeting. The
Program Director will make a decision and submit the decision to
the student within two weeks after their meeting. After meeting
with the Program Director and receiving notification of the
Program Director’s decision, if the student is not satisfied, then the
student can appeal within two weeks of receiving the Program
Director’s decision, in writing by email or by hard copy sent
through campus mail or U.S. mail to the Dean of the School of
Arts and Sciences, stating clearly their reasons for the appeal. The
Dean must respond within two weeks of their meeting and the
Dean’s decision is final.
Continuance in the social work program is not guaranteed. The
student must maintain an acceptable level of performance
according to community, academic, and professional social work
standards. Reviews of student performance are held prior to Senior
Field Practicum and prior to graduation, or other times as required
by circumstances. Probationary status or dismissal may be assigned
to a student not meeting program criteria.

and specialized computing and the Bachelor of Science in Graphic
Design and Technology. Also housed in the SSBT are accelerated
degree-completion programs for working adults in Business
Administration-Management (BAM), Computer Information

Department of Business Administration General Information
The Department of Business Administration offers programs for
students planning careers in many business occupations. The
Department offers a Bachelor of Business Administration degree
(BBA) which includes a core curriculum that consists of
foundational courses in accounting, computer applications,
economics, finance, law, management, marketing as well as
statistics and business strategy. Each BBA student is required to
choose a concentration in Accounting, Community Development,
Information Technology, E-commerce, Digital Multimedia
Communication, Management, Marketing, International Business,
or Music Business. The BBA is generally considered to be the
equivalent of a double major in Business Administration and the
chosen concentration, thus a declaration of a minor is encouraged
when possible, but not required.
Nearly all of our BBA programs require at least one, three-credit
hour internship. This requires 165 hours of on-site, real world,
hands on involvement with an organization in a position that
matches the student's career goals. Trevecca's location in a
growing, diversified city like Nashville, Tennessee, along with its
excellent reputation in the business community provides its
students with great opportunities for life changing internships that
in many instances lead to full-time employment upon graduation.
The department has recently added the option of earning a
Bachelor of Science (BS) in Business. Students are required to
complete the business core and will choose a complementary
minor from any department on campus. This option provides
more flexibility for transfers as well as other students who are not
drawn to any of our BBA concentrations.
Another recent addition is our Associate of Science (AS) in
Business. This program requires students to complete 60 hours
that include general education as well as certain core business
classes. Students choosing this program will have a solid business
education and upon graduation may decide to transition to the
four-year degree without losing a step.
For BBA students, the Accounting Concentration provides
training for professional opportunities in both public and private
accounting as well as governmental and not-for-profit
organizations. Students may choose the traditional four-year degree
or the 150 hour Professional Accountancy degree. Completion of
this program will qualify the student to sit for the CPA exam in a
majority of states. Students preparing for the CPA examination
should consult with a member of the Accounting faculty to ensure
that they meet the licensing requirements in the states where they
wish to practice.
The Community Development Concentration will require the
student to complete the business core curriculum while also
completing a significant number of courses from the Department
of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the J.V. Morsch Center for
Social Justice. A student completing the requirements for this
degree will have many opportunities in both the non-profit and
traditional business sectors. The primary focus of this degree is to
allow a student to use his/her business background to improve the
lives of families in communities around the world.
The International Business Concentration will provide the
student with a solid business foundation with a more global focus.
Understanding the broader world in which we live is becoming a
more relevant and valuable skill. Students will be required to
complete the core business curriculum complemented by courses
such as Intercultural Communication, International Economic
Development, and International Marketing. This will prepare them
for positions in business or with the U.S. government both
domestically and abroad.
For those interested in incorporating a technology perspective into
their BBA, the Trevecca Department of Information Technology
offers three computer-related concentrations including
Information Technology, E-Commerce, and Digital
Multimedia Communication. These concentrations provide
hands-on, real world opportunities to apply information
technologies to business problems. Students interested in working
in technology companies in non-IT areas, or those interested in
systems analysis, web design, project management, or business
programming will find this concentration an excellent fit. The
Department of Information Technology is housed in the Skinner
School of Business and Technology and in addition to the
programs mentioned above provides the opportunity for students
to earn a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT).
This degree focuses more on technology, and students may choose
a BSIT with a concentration in Specialized Computing or Web
Development. The department also offers a Bachelor of Science
in Graphic Design and Technology (BSGDT). For more
information on these degrees please see the Department of
Information Technology section.
A student wishing to pursue opportunities in the Music Industry in
a nonperformance capacity should strongly consider the Music
Business Concentration. Course work is designed to acquaint the
student with the music industry and includes instruction in music
publishing, concert management, studio production, music
merchandising, and public relations.
Companies are constantly looking for motivated people to help sell
their products as well as to keep their customers satisfied and
informed. The Marketing Concentration is designed to prepare
students to meet these demands by emphasizing principles of good
communication, including basic sales techniques, advertising
strategies, and the art of providing quality customer service.
The Management Concentration prepares students for a variety
of opportunities in the management of enterprises. Career choices
Department of Business Administration
DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION| 149
range from small entrepreneurial ventures to positions with
Fortune 500 companies and from generalist roles to specialization
such as operations management, human resources management,
and quality management.
The department partners with the School of Education by offering
a unique business major to allow interested students to obtain a
Business Education Degree (grades 7-12). The teaching major is
approved by the Tennessee Board of Education and is part of the
unit accredited by NCATE.
The Business Administration Department offers various minors
for those desiring to integrate business and information technology
learning with their chosen primary discipline. In addition, there is a
unique summer sales internship program available to students in
the department.

MICHAEL J. LEIH, Chair, Department of Information
Technology; Associate Professor of Information Technology,
2009––
BA, Point Loma Nazarene College, 1988; MS, California State
University at Fullerton, 1994; PhD, Claremont Graduate

Department of Information Technology General Information
The Department of Information Technology provides several
degree opportunities for those interested in pursuing careers in
Information Technology. In addition to the BBA degree listed in
the Department of Business Administration with its concentrations
in information technology, E-commerce, and digital multimedia
communication, the Department of Information Technology
offers a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT)
and a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design and Technology
(BSGDT). These programs provide comprehensive and substantial
hands-on work in most key technologies being used by businesses
today. The department offers concentrations in two areas of study
in the BSIT program: specialized computing and web
development. The Specialized Computing concentration allows
students to create an individualized course of study in computing
technologies that fits their desired career objectives. Some
possibilities include computer science, application development,
Windows technologies, networking, and database technologies.
The department has joined the academic initiatives of many
vendors, including IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle, to provide state of
the art software and technologies within the programs of study. It
is predicted that information technology will rank as one of the top
areas for which career opportunities will exist over the coming
years both in Tennessee and nationally.
The department also offers an Associate of Science degree in
Information Technology (ASIT) for those interested in a 2-year
degree and a minor for those in other disciplines who seek to
integrate learning in the area of information technology. The
Department of Information Technology also offers evening
accelerated Computer Information Technology (CIT) and Health
Information Technology (HIT) degrees for working adult students
in conjunction with the School of Graduate and Continuing
Studies.

Post Baccalaureate Program
Candidates who hold a Bachelor's degree from a regionally
accredited college or university can attend Trevecca Nazarene
University under the auspices of the Post Baccalaureate Office at a
reduced tuition rate. Directed Study, available only to those
enrolled in licensure programs, is charged regular University tuition
plus directed study fee.
This program is organized to provide service for three different
types of students:
Type 1. Candidates who hold a baccalaureate degree and wish to
take classes leading to recommendation for initial teacher licensure.
These candidates will NOT earn credits toward another degree;
Type 2. Candidates who want to add an additional area of
endorsement to their current teacher license; or
Type 3. Candidates with teacher licensure who need coursework to
satisfy requirements for renewal of their current teacher license or
who want course work for professional development or personal
enrichment.
Admission Requirements
1. A candidate must have a GPA of 3.0 to be admitted. If not, in
order to prove competency, the candidate must make a passing
score on the Praxis II Content Knowledge Test in Elementary
K-6 or the Secondary Content Major.
2. A candidate must present passing scores on the Core Academic
Skills Tests of Reading, Mathematics, and Writing.
International candidates may not enroll in education courses as
post-baccalaureate candidates until all admissions procedures
described under Admission of International Students in the
Admissions section of this Catalog have been processed. One of
the requirements is that applicants whose native language is not
English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL).

Millard Reed School of Theology and Christian Ministry General
Information
Within the life and thought of the Trevecca Community, the
Millard Reed School of Theology and Christian Ministry provides
occasion for reflection upon the foundations, formation, and the
Wesleyan vision of the historic Christian faith for living a reflective
life of Christian service within the Church and society.
The Millard Reed School of Theology and Christian Ministry offers
undergraduate majors in Religion, Religious Studies and
Intercultural Studies. The student majoring in Religion will minor
in one of six professional areas: Pastoral Ministry, Children’s
Ministry, Youth Ministry, Intercultural Studies, Compassionate
Ministry, or Worship Ministry. Minors offered through the School
include: (1) Biblical Studies, (2) Religious Studies, (3) Philosophy,
(4) New Testament Greek, (5) Biblical Hebrew, (6) Biblical
Languages, (7) Children's Ministry, (8) Youth Ministry, (9)
Compassionate Ministry, and (10) Intercultural Studies. Students
majoring in Intercultural Studies will choose a minor outside the
Millard Reed School of Theology and Christian Ministry from an
approved list.
The Millard Reed School of Theology and Christian Ministry
serves the University in the general education area by providing
introductory level courses in Bible, Christian doctrine, and
philosophy as well as a senior seminar designed to integrate faith,
learning, and Christian living. The School offers the Master of Arts
in Religious Studies with an emphasis in Bible, Theology, or
Preaching in order to provide advanced and specialized study
beyond the baccalaureate degree. The Millard Reed School of
Theology and Christian Ministry also offers the BA in Christian
Ministry as a cooperative degree completion program for the
Salvation Army Southern Territory and through an online adult
studies degree.
Mission Statement and Learning Outcomes for Academic
Majors in Religion, Religious Studies and Intercultural Studies
Mission Statement
The Religion major provides a curriculum to prepare persons both
for various areas of Christian service and for graduate study in
religion, with the required professional minors in Pastoral Ministry,
Youth Ministry, Children's Ministry, Intercultural Studies,
Compassionate Ministry, and Worship Ministry. All of these (with
the exception of Intercultural Studies) are designed to meet
requirements for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene.
The Religious Studies major provides a curriculum to prepare
persons who have a second major or who transfer into the Millard
Reed School of Religion with a minimum of 60 hours for Christian
service and for graduate study in religion.
The degree in Intercultural Studies is designed for students
preparing for cross-cultural Christian ministry in situations, both
domestic and global, in which knowledge of intercultural dynamics
is essential and in which a marketable skill will allow for cultural
engagement, creative access, or bi-vocational support.

Theology and Christian Ministry. A student who transfers to the

University or from outside the University, may petition the Millard
Reed School of Theology and Christian Ministry for an exception
to the second major requirement.

Christian Ministry BA
Trevecca’s Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry is offered in two
ways:
1. As an accelerated adult studies online program, and
2. An adult degree-completion program designed to meet the
specific needs of Salvation Army Southern Territory personnel.
Christian Ministry Online (CMO) is a totally online program
providing adult students the opportunity to complete a college
degree in a schedule and format particularly designed to meet their
unique needs. The curriculum’s major emphasis is to prepare
persons for various areas of Christian service. The program is for
those students who have at least 40 semester hours of college
credit.
Please call (615) 248-1529 or (844) TNU-GRAD for further
information or access the website: www.trevecca.edu/cmo
The Christian Ministry Program (CMP) is a cooperative degree-
completion program conducted for and with the Salvation Army
Southern Territory. This program seeks to encourage life-long
learning by providing the Southern Territory with educational
support for its officers, soldiers, employees, and volunteers.
Enrollment in the Christian Ministry Program is exclusively for
Salvation Army personnel.
Please call (615) 248-7766 for further information or access the
website: www.trevecca.edu/cmp.
The major emphasis of the Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry’s
curriculum is to prepare persons for various areas of Christian
service by developing:
• a holistic mindset,
• a missional vision,
• servant-leadership skills, and
• ministry competence.
Special attention is given to helping individuals adapt their study to
their personal calling and where it fits into the world where
ministry takes place. Faculty members are well-equipped and eager
to help develop strong competencies for ministry success and for
making positive contribution in their profession and to society.
Course content is focused on practical application to the everyday
life and occupation of the student. The program assumes that adult
students possess experience and skills which may earn academic
credit.
The Student Learning Outcomes for the Christian Ministry degree
are to enable the student to:
1. Construct a personal philosophy for ministry that is consistent
with Scripture and recognized leadership principles;
2. Apply practical principles and strategies for effective ministry;
3. Value the need for theological reflection as an aspect of
ministry;
4. Recognize pastoral care that effectively ministers to the body of
Christ;
5. Construct culturally relevant worship as a celebration of faith;
6. Interpret the disciplines of the Christian faith for personal and
ministerial growth;
7. Define the meaning and significance of Biblical authority for
theological reflection and Christian practice; and
8. Identify and frame key elements of intellectual thought for
ministry.
Admission to the academic program in Christian Ministry requires
completing an application and meeting specific admission
requirements described in the program catalog supplement.
Completion of the degree requires (1) 120 semester hours of credit,
including 30 hours of required general education course work and
MILLARD REED SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY AND CHRISTIAN MINISTRY| 229
a 30-hour major in Christian Ministry, and (2) a cumulative GPA
of 2.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale in total work attempted while
registered in the program. No program course grade below C- (1.7)
will count toward the major.

Religious Studies MA
The Millard Reed School of Theology and Christian Ministry offers
a Graduate Studies in Religion Program in order to provide
advanced and specialized study in religious studies beyond the
baccalaureate degree with the intent to strengthen the academic
and professional competence of the student as well as provide
personal enrichment for those desiring to pursue in-depth religious
studies. Concentrations are offered in Biblical and Theological
Studies and Christian Ministry.
For specific information, see the Graduate Catalog.

Interdisciplinary Majors
Majors in Social Justice and Worship Arts seek to provide students
with expertise from various disciplines of the Trevecca curricula.
The Social Justice Major provides students with curricula from the
Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, the Skinner School
of Business and Technology, and the Millard Reed School of
Theology and Christian Ministry. The Worship Arts Major
provides students with curricula from the Department of
Communication Studies, the Skinner School of Business and
Technology, and the Millard Reed School of Theology and
Christian Ministry. In order for the interdisciplinary conversation
to take place, committees comprised of representative faculty from
the Schools of Theology and Christian Ministry, Business and
Technology, and Arts and Sciences have academic oversight of
each of the two majors. In addition to courses provided by the
various departments and schools, specific courses in social justice
and worship are also provided in each major.
Interdisciplinary Minor
Through an interdisciplinary process the Leadership Studies Minor
seeks to enhance the skill set of graduates in all undergraduate
degree programs by providing a broad perspective on leadership
and to enhance on-campus leadership development of student
leaders for student government, peer mentoring, and resident
assistants.
Praise and Worship Certificate Program
The goal of the Praise and Worship Certificate Program is to
educate and equip tomorrow's worship leaders to humbly and
joyfully lead the body of believers to passionately express their
adoration to God through consuming worship. Understanding and
interpreting this divine calling through the lens of cultural diversity
and divergent theological expressions is the core of all activities
and experiences in the Praise and Worship Certificate Program.
The Praise and Worship Interdisciplinary Curriculum Committee
approves the curriculum for the Praise and Worship Certificate
Program. Members of the committee are from the School of
Religion, Department of Music, Worship Arts Program, and Praise
and Worship Certificate Program.

Center for Social Justice General Information
Mission Statement
The Center for Social Justice offers a Biblically based,
interdisciplinary major leading to a Bachelor of Science in Social
Justice. The Social Justice Major provides three areas of
concentration: Non-profit and Congregational Leadership, Public
Policy, and Environmental Justice. Students will develop critical
analysis and solutions to social problems through insights from the
fields of law, business, public policy, environmental science,
religion, and social work. Through a rich combination of theory,
theology, and intensive field experiences students gain knowledge
and practical skills to prepare them for a variety of careers
including leadership within congregations and social service
nonprofits; research and policy analysis positions within local,
state, and federal government agencies or advocacy, lobbying, or
educational institutions; and staff positions within public agencies
or corporations focused on environmental conservation and
stewardship.
Student Learning Outcomes
Graduates with a Social Justice Major will be able to:
1. Understand Biblical Social Justice in the context of presenting
social injustices.
2. Develop a comprehensive action plan and creative solutions to
address justice issues.
3. Secure employment in a setting that addresses social justice
issues.
4. Be prepared for placement in a graduate program related to
their field of interest.

professional minors which will count as the student's minor area of
study.

Praise and Worship Certificate Program General Information
The Praise and Worship Certificate Program offers both an initial
(first-year) certificate and an advanced (second-year) certificate.
Coursework for the first year is offered over four 7-week sessions
in a residential program with all students following the same
curriculum track. Students who wish to complete the second year
for the advanced certificate must complete an additional four 7-
week sessions of coursework with concentrated study in upper-
division courses. Instruction is primarily face-to-face; however,
some courses are offered in a video supported format, thus
providing students with some flexibility in their daily schedules.
Additionally, students participate in short- and long-term in-the-
field ministry internships. Upon completion of the certificate and
advanced certificate programs, students have the opportunity to be
represented for ministry placement by the nation's leading worship
leader ministry-placement organization, The Slingshot Group Inc.
First-time freshmen are required to enroll in INT 1100, Life
Calling and Purpose, during their first semester.
Mission Statement
The goal of the Praise and Worship Certificate Program is to
educate and equip tomorrow's worship leaders to humbly and
joyfully lead the body of believers to passionately express their
adoration to God through consuming worship. We believe that
God's calling for the worship leader does not reflect a certain
musical style and/or a certain age category but rather the heart cry
of all believers to enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into
His courts with praise. Understanding and interpreting this divine
calling through the lens of cultural diversity and divergent
theological expressions is the core of all activities and experiences
in the Praise and Worship Certificate Program.
Student Learning Outcomes
Praise and Worship Certificate holders will be able to:
1. Articulate a biblical, historical, and contemporary perspective
of worship.
2. Demonstrate practical skills as a performer, songwriter, and
platform presenter in order to assimilate in to the common
worship pastor practices into today's North American
contemporary church.
3. Demonstrate skills in the area of leadership, planning, and
management in order to function within a staff as well as laity
driven organizations.
4. Integrate common essential practices of a worship pastor in
cross-denominational and/or non-denominational evangelical
lines.
5. Be prepared to enter a related ministry position within a local
church, church planting/mission field, and/or denominational
structure or to pursue further education.
Program Regulations
Students choosing to apply for acceptance into the certificate
program must submit a video audition (NPWI.com) to the
program's administrators. Upon recommendation by the
administrators, the student will be invited to a live audition for final
consideration and acceptance into the program. Additional
placement procedures include proficiency examinations in music
theory (written and aural), guitar, and functional keyboard skills.
Placement in the appropriate theory classes, guitar class, and
keyboard class will be based on these examinations.
