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. George Pepperdine founded his namesake university in 1937 with the singular vision of cultivating a community of the highest academic standard, while fostering the faith-based traditions of the Churches of Christ. Mr. Pepperdine believed that higher education institutions must dedicate themselves to the total development of students and he devoted his life to that endeavor.
At Pepperdine, higher learning is aligned with a higher purpose. By integrating service, worship, and social responsibility with rigorous academic study, we create a community that nurtures heart, soul, strength, and mind.
