The Pepperdine University School of Public Policy offers a Master of Public Policy degree and maintains joint degree programs with Pepperdine's School of Law (MPP/JD and MPP/MDR) and with the Graziadio School of Business and Management for an MPP/MBA. Its approach centers on developing leaders who combine analytical tools with policy design to enable effective implementation and tangible change. The program prepares graduates for leadership roles and aims to strengthen intermediary institutions that operate between the federal government and individuals, including families, religious organizations, volunteer groups, local and regional governments, and nonprofits. Located in Malibu, California, the school functions as part of Pepperdine University and serves about a hundred students. The Davenport Institute serves as the school’s research and programs division, organizing conferences, seminars, and publishing research to address current policy issues.
