Leadership. Character. Calling.

Army ROTC at Trevecca Nazarene University

Develop your leadership. Strengthen your character. Serve something greater than yourself. Experience Army training with no military obligation for the first two years.

Faith and Leadership

At Trevecca, we believe leadership is more than a position — it is a responsibility to serve others.

Army ROTC provides students with the opportunity to develop the skills, discipline and character required to lead Soldiers while pursuing a Trevecca degree in a Christ-centered academic community.

Our approach to leadership is grounded in the belief that true leadership begins with service. Cadets are challenged to lead with integrity, humility, courage and compassion — qualities that reflect both the Army's commitment to character and Trevecca's commitment to Christ-centered education.

“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”
— Matthew 20:26
