What Our Alumni Have to Say

Elias S.

Class of 2020

"I attended info sessions from schools all over, but none stuck out to me like Pepperdine did. It stuck out because of the care that was put into it."

Ernesto S.

Class of 2022

“It's not the typical professor/student relationship in a traditional setting but rather a mentor and a coach. You are getting the academic side and a more personal approach towards your goals."
