APPLY TO PEPPERDINE

Pepperdine is a Christian university committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership. We are eager to see how students align with our mission as demonstrated through their academic progression, extracurricular activities, and writing supplements. The way students have shown purpose, service, and leadership can look different from person to person, but these are traits that many of our admitted students have in common.

When you visit campus in Malibu, meet current students, and engage with our admission team, you are more likely to understand what sets Pepperdine apart from other colleges. We want you to have every opportunity to learn about Pepperdine and decide whether you can truly see yourself here. We seek to enroll students who are not only academically prepared but also genuinely eager to engage with our community, spiritual life, and rigorous academic environment. Thus, we encourage you to demonstrate your interest in attending Pepperdine.
