Overview
Steve Jobs once said, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." At Trevecca, we want to help you discover your calling and love what you do, whether it's accounting, running a non-profit, HR management, or whatever business you're most passionate about.
We have a degree program that fits you.
Trevecca's Department of Business Administration offers two degree paths: a Bachelor of Business Administration or a Bachelor of Science in business. The B.B.A. route allows you to choose concentrations in various fields, from community development to marketing. A Bachelor of Science in business offers more flexibility to those who are not drawn to any of the B.B.A. concentrations.
We have industry contacts.
Our school and professors maintain relationships with the Nashville business community and beyond. These relationships often lead to exciting internships and job opportunities for our graduates.
Your internship will count for something.
We want our students to have hands-on, real-world business experience in their chosen field before they land their first job. That's why internships are required or strongly encouraged in all of our B.B.A. and B.S. programs. Our industry connections ensure those internships count for something.
Our professors know business—and your name.
Most of our professors hold the highest degrees in their fields and have industry experience. Many have earned industry-specific certifications and honors. Our small class sizes mean that our professors are also mentors, sharing their experience and expertise with you.
Your degree will lead to a career.
Our graduates go on to pursue a wide variety of business career paths, from accounting to community development. Additionally, many of our students already have jobs lined up before graduation.
You will be taught from a Christian worldview.
Models of ethical decision making are explored from a Christian perspective with one of these simplest yet profound models being the single question: "What would Jesus do?" Faith is appropriately integrated into the classroom through guest speakers from the Christian business community and through devotionals and prayer led by the business faculty.
Available concentrations:
- Accounting
- Community Development
- Information Technology
- International Business
- Management
- Marketing
- Music Business

What our students say
"I love the Skinner School of Business and Technology's focus on servant leadership and integrity. These principles - instilled in me by my family and then affirmed by my education at Trevecca - have had an incredible impact on my career. When God called me to Trevecca 22 years ago, I had no idea that, that impact was going to last a lifetime."
