Self-Guided Campus Tours

If you are unable to attend one of our guided campus tours, we welcome you to take a self-guided tour of campus. You can either drive a guided route to an audio guide or walk around campus using our online brochure, depending on your preference. View academic buildings, residence halls, athletic facilities, Stauffer Chapel, Smothers Theatre, Payson Library, and more!

In order to access campus, you and your guests will need to be registered for a specific day. However, you are allowed to enter campus at any time during that day.

On-Campus Admission Interview

Join us for an admission interview on our Malibu campus! The optional interview provides an opportunity for applicants to have a meaningful conversation with a Pepperdine admission representative. This conversation allows you to learn more about Pepperdine and the Admission Office to learn more about you. Although the interview is informational in nature, interviewers will also provide an evaluative report that will be included in the applicant's admission file and treated as an additional letter of recommendation.

You can register for an interview either before or after submitting your Common Application, but only students applying for Fall 2022 are eligible. Your chances of admission will not be negatively affected if we are unable to offer you an interview.
