More Than an Education

Here students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.

A Vibrant Campus

Pepperdine is home to approximately 3,500 undergraduate students hand selected from diverse backgrounds. More than 60 percent of students live on campus in fully furnished, suite-style residence halls centrally located to classes, the library, campus eateries, events, and student support resources. This close-knit community is the optimal setting for you to discover yourself and develop your talents.

A Place of Faith

Christian values, firmly rooted in a Church of Christ heritage, are at the heart of Pepperdine’s transformative experience both inside and outside the classroom. Members of all faith traditions are welcome to explore their spiritual path here. Seaver 200 creates gatherings for first- and second-year students to investigate their faith and feel welcomed into the community. This required programming provides a model of vibrant faith practice for students as they become leaders in the world.
