Pepperdine University is an independent Christian institution of higher education founded in 1937 and based in Malibu, California. It serves about 7,600 students across its five schools: Seaver College (the liberal arts college), the Caruso School of Law, the Graziadio School of Business and Management, the Graduate School of Education and Psychology, and the School of Public Policy. The university maintains high academic standards alongside its Christian values, aiming to prepare graduates for lives of purpose, service, and leadership. As a private, multi-school university, Pepperdine blends liberal arts education with professional programs to support a range of career paths. In May 2026, Pepperdine launched the Joyce Plueger Health Assessment Laboratory to expand its health sciences offerings. The development reflects ongoing campus facility enhancements at the Malibu campus and aligns with the university’s broader educational objectives.
