Overview
"Our mission is to inspire and equip students to follow their calling to seek biblical justice in a broken world."
The Social Justice Program at Trevecca can give you the skills and training you need to live out your spiritual calling to serve others through specific areas of study.
The social justice studies offer a liberal arts major/minor that will engage you in a core, interdisciplinary curriculum that captures insights from the fields of business, law, sociology, social work, science, and religion. Our program pulls together concepts from biblical theology, Christian ethics and human rights and emphasizes on restoration (spiritually, physically and emotionally) for the oppressed and marginalized.
Our small classes and expert professors and instructors ensure that your educational experience will be authentic and personal. You’ll learn from those truly practicing what they teach.
Located in the heart of Nashville, our students have the opportunity to volunteer, intern and get involved in a growing community. Our partnerships with non-profits, social services and local churches provide our students with a launching point for engaged learning and preparation for their futures.
You can then choose one of three social justice concentrations to gain marketable skills:
Non-Profit and Congregational Leadership
