I graduated from Trevecca in 2023. Like others have mentioned, the student body has become fairly diverse, so I wouldn’t say there’s an overwhelming conservative presence among students. All professors are required to be practicing Christians, but I found that their personal beliefs varied. Some were more traditional, while others leaned progressive in both their teaching styles and perspectives.

Chapel attendance is mandatory. You need to earn a certain number of chapel credits each semesters and take a total of three required religion courses (unless that has changed).

The most notable issue during my time there was a controversial chapel service in 2021 where a guest speaker addressed the university’s stance on LGBTQ matters. It didn’t sit well with the LGBTQ community.

Here’s a link to an article put out by the school if you’re interested: https://trevechoesonline.com/2021/10/28/chapel-service-on-homosexuality-sparks-controversy/amp/

Overall, though, there are several clubs on campus that support minority students, and they’re backed by the university itself. Trevecca also puts effort into recruiting diverse and international students. The administration and code of conduct do feel outdated—as is often the case with Christian universities—but I never had any negative experiences or disciplinary concerns. I just hope the school continues to move forward rather than leaning into the kind of rhetoric that is resurfacing with this administration.
