Welcome to Pepperdine University!

Pepperdine University is an independent, private

Christian university enrolling more than 7,600 students

in its five colleges and schools. We have drawn students

from every state of the union and from more than 80

countries worldwide. Pepperdine is considered to be

among the nation’s finest universities, regarded for

its high academic standards, its nationally acclaimed

Division I athletics program, and its commitment to

serving the needs of each and every Pepperdine student.

Our world-renowned, 830-acre Malibu campus is

home to our undergraduate school, Seaver College,

our Schools of Law and Public Policy, and programs

of the Graziadio School of Business and Management

and the Graduate School of Education and Psychology.

Additionally, our graduate campuses, located throughout

California, afford convenient access to mid-career adults

pursuing advanced degrees in business, education, and

psychology, and bachelor's degrees in business.

The pages of this guide will introduce you to each of our

schools, our alumni, and our athletics programs; as well

as our history, financial data, and some of what makes

Pepperdine unique.

Beginnings and benefactorsIn February 1937, against the

backdrop of despair and pessimism

of the Great Depression, a man

named George Pepperdine decided

to do a hopeful thing in unhopeful

times: endow, erect, dedicate, and

accredit a Christian liberal arts

college in the city of Los Angeles.

Remarkably, led by Mr. Pepperdine’s commitment and

passion, only 7 months later on September 21, students

entered classes on a

newly built campus, and

by April 6, 1938, George

Pepperdine College was

fully accredited by the

Northwest Association.

As the young college grew over the decades, it caught the

attention of entrepreneur, lawyer, and inventor Frank R.

Seaver, who mentioned Pepperdine in his will. However,

it was his widow, Blanche E. Seaver, who came to wholly

embrace the Pepperdine mission. She extended the

Seaver family legacy through generous gifts that enabled

the school to expand into Malibu in 1972. In 1975 the

Malibu campus

was named the

Frank R. Seaver

College, becoming

the flagship

undergraduate

school of the

University.

George Pepperdine (Jun 20, 1886–Jul 31, 1962)

Frank R. Seaver (Apr 12, 1883–Oct 31, 1964) Blanche Seaver (Sep 15, 1891–Apr 9, 1994)

Pepperdine has had a graduate

business school since 1969, later

named in 1996, when real estate

entrepreneur and Imperial Bank

cofounder George L. Graziadio, Jr.,

"adopted" it as his fourth child

and endowed it not only with his

gifts and his name, but with his

optimism and dynamic personality.

In the spirit of its namesake, the Graziadio School

provides business

education that is

entrepreneurial in

spirit, ethical in

focus, and global

in orientation.

George L. Graziadio (Jul 6, 1911–Jun 6, 2002)

Princeton Review ranked Pepperdine #2 Most Beautiful Campus (2014)
