FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedTrevecca Nazarene University does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $67,678, above the $32,829 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Tennessee.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a large share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 1,120 of Trevecca Nazarene University's 3,196 students (35%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 715 (22%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions
About Trevecca Nazarene University
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Trevecca Nazarene University located?
- Trevecca Nazarene University is located in Nashville, TN, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Trevecca Nazarene University?
- Trevecca Nazarene University is a private university based in TN. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at Trevecca Nazarene University?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Trevecca Nazarene University is approximately 69% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at Trevecca Nazarene University?
- Trevecca Nazarene University's published in-state tuition is approximately $31,300 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Trevecca Nazarene University?
- Trevecca Nazarene University reports total enrollment of approximately 3,195 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does Trevecca Nazarene University actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Trevecca Nazarene University is approximately $16,813 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $14,532 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $20,725. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Trevecca Nazarene University?
- Trevecca Nazarene University reports a graduation rate of approximately 53% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Trevecca Nazarene University have?
- Students who borrowed at Trevecca Nazarene University left with a median of approximately $18,744 in federal loans, and about 39% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Trevecca Nazarene University earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $49,378 for students who received federal financial aid at Trevecca Nazarene University. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Trevecca Nazarene University?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Trevecca Nazarene University.
- How much do Business Administration graduates from Trevecca Nazarene University earn?
- Trevecca Nazarene University's master's graduates in Business Administration earned a median $80,266 four years after graduating, 22% below the $103,485 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $64,161; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $35,750 in federal loans at this college (about $407 a month on a 10-year plan).
- How much do Educational Administration graduates from Trevecca Nazarene University earn?
- Trevecca Nazarene University's doctoral graduates in Educational Administration earned a median $87,850 four years after graduating, 13% below the $100,573 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $79,188; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $65,945 in federal loans at this college (about $750 a month on a 10-year plan).
- Which programs at Trevecca Nazarene University have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 7 programs at Trevecca Nazarene University with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Allied Health (diagnostic and treatment), master's ($116,655); Educational Administration, doctoral ($87,850); and Business Administration, master's ($80,266) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does Trevecca Nazarene University get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Trevecca Nazarene University's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $67,678, above the $32,829 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Tennessee, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
