On-Campus Information Sessions and Student-Led Campus Tours

The Office of Admission hosts daily campus visits, which include a 60-minute student-led campus tour and 30-minute long application workshop with a Pepperdine Admission Counselor. The application workshop reviews the timeline for applying, the application evaluation process, and financial assistance. Most visitors choose to attend both the campus tour and application workshop, which can be completed in a two-hour visit.

University, College, or High School Groups

Guided group visits are available for college and high school age students. Please submit a visit request for your school or organization and the group visit coordinator will contact you about the details of your submission. Guided group visits are approximately an hour and a half, which includes a brief meet & greet with an admission counselor and a guided tour with a current student. Groups are limited to 50 people, and we require a 10:1 student to staff ratio. All group visits must be requested at least four weeks in advance and are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. As the volume of visitors per day is limited, visit requests are not guaranteed.

Please note the meet & greet with an admission counselor is available for group visits starting January 1, 2019. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate this offering for visits scheduled before this date.
