Visiting Pepperdine

The Office of Admission invites all prospective students and their families to visit our picturesque campus in Malibu, California.  Through these in person experiences, you will gain a better appreciation for the opportunities that Pepperdine has to offer. 

Las Virgenes/Malibu Canyon, one of the main roads to campus, is under construction.  Please allow extra travel time if your route includes this road.

Individuals and Small Groups (1-9 visitors)

Guided Campus Tours and Information Sessions
The Office of Admission hosts guided campus tours and information sessions with admission counselors. Campus tours include a 60-minute, narrated walking tour of campus led by current students. Information sessions are 30-minute long presentations by admission counselors and cover information about Pepperdine, the application process, and a question and answer session. Most visitors choose to attend both a campus tour and an information session, and schedule them so that they can be completed in a two-hour visit. Schedule a Campus Tour and Information Session
