Campus Life
At Pepperdine, students connect within a close-knit community through student organizations, cultural events, academics, athletics, and more. Our residential housing encourages students to forge lifelong friendships as well as a sense of belonging during their college years.
Spiritual Life
We are dedicated to our students' spiritual development. Bringing together people from a wide spectrum of faith backgrounds, we express our Christian faith in ways such as beachside surf chapel, prayer groups, service opportunities, spiritual mentoring, and worship.
Service and Leadership
Our students engage in community service at a rate more than twice the national average for college students. At the Pepperdine Volunteer Center, students, staff, and faculty live the Pepperdine affirmation, "That knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service."
Career Development
We help students identify their unique purpose and equip them to build careers of leadership, through student employment, internships, and professional skill development. We partner with companies and organizations locally and nationally to provide internships and jobs.
Wellness
Our campus recreation program, student health center, and counseling center are committed to helping students live a healthy lifestyle -- both in and outside of the classroom. Pepperdine is committed to the holistic development of our students.
Academic Student Services
We support our rigorous academics through academic advising services, the Office of Student Accessibility, renowned faculty, world class facilities, and highly competitive programs all of which have contributed to our strong programs and rankings.
