First-Year Students
First-year students apply through the Common Application. First-year applicants are considered students still in high school or students who have graduated high school without completing any college credits. The application process is the same regardless of whether you are applying to Seaver College or the College or Health Sciences nursing program.
You will also need to submit high school transcripts and an academic recommendation. SAT/ACT scores are optional for admission, but required to be considered for the Regents Scholars Program scholarships. Proof of English proficiency is required for international applicants. Please refer to the instructions on our First-Year Applicant or International First-Year Applicant pages.
Transfer Students
Transfer students apply through the Pepperdine Transfer Application. Transfer applicants are considered students who have both graduated from high school and completed college credits.
You will also need to submit final high school transcripts or an equivalent test, college transcripts from every institution, and an academic recommendation. SAT/ACT scores are optional, while proof of English proficiency is required for international applicants. Please refer to the instructions on our Transfer Applicant, International Transfer Applicant, or Nursing Transfer Pathway pages.
