Add a Minor!
As you decide on a major for your area of study, you can also choose to add a minor, selecting from the same program options.
I was super anxious about the idea of going back, but Trevecca made it so easy. You don’t have to take all your classes at once, you can take your time and narrow your focus. You’re not trying to balance the craziness of life and work with your schooling. The workload was super manageable.
- Getting Started
- Admissions
- Graduation Requirements
The number of prior college credits you've earned will determine how your college journey will look, but you can start from anywhere.
Option 1: 40 or more college credits
If you have already earned at least 40 college credits, you can jump right into one of the online bachelor’s degree programs listed above after applying.
Option 2: Fewer than 40 college credits
If you have earned fewer than 40 credits in college, you can still chart a course to an online bachelor’s degree at Trevecca. You'll just need to enroll in our associate degree program first. Every credit you earn in an associate program will transfer fully into any of our online bachelor's degree programs, and if a bachelor’s degree is your goal, it’s not necessary to complete your associate degree in order to move into a bachelor’s program once you meet the 40-credit requirement.
