School of Religion General Information
Within the life and thought of the Trevecca Community, the School of Religion 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 School of Religion offers undergraduate majors in Religion and Religious Studies. The student majoring in Religion will minor in one of six professional areas: Pastoral Ministry, Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, Mission, 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) Mission.
The School of Religion 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 School of Religion also offers the BA in Christian Ministry as a cooperative degree completion program for the Salvation Army Southern Territory.
