Communication Division

About the Communication Division

Students studying communication at Pepperdine are exposed to a broad sweep of theories and practical applications. Our mission is to create learning environments that encourage students to comprehend the diverse dynamics of human communication in all its contexts, and to use that knowledge and accompanying skills to become world citizens exemplifying lives of purpose, service and leadership.

Our professors will encourage you to link your worldview to classroom learning—to contemplate how God might use the knowledge and skills you’re acquiring to lead and serve others. Additionally, every student must complete an internship to graduate. Our students complete meaningful internships at the top companies and media organizations in the nation. Most are offered jobs after they’ve completed those internships. The faculty teaching in classrooms and advising co-curricular activities hold degrees from America’s finest colleges and universities, and many are nationally recognized experts in their fields of research and study.

Our 650 majors take classes at our new Center for Communication and Business, completed in 2005. Classrooms are equipped with the latest audio-visual equipment and our teaching labs and computer labs are refreshed each year so students learn on up-to-date equipment and software.
