Pepperdine University is a private university in Malibu, California. This UCC affiliate contains an undergraduate campus (Seaver), a Law School, Business School, School of Public Policy, and School of Psychology.

Formed in 1937, the school has grown from a tiny start-up in the downtown area to hosting campus locations in Malibu, West LA, Encino, Westlake Village, and Irvine. Across these locations, Pepperdine educates about 3,500 undergraduate and 4,200 post-graduate students every year.

Pepperdine competes in Division I athletics, excelling primarily in Volleyball and Baseball. While Pepperdine maintains a respectable ranking on most collegiate reviews, they are probably most renowned for their consistently high rankings in "Most Beautiful Campus" and similar ratings. 

== Student Entrepreneurship ==

- The Faculty at Seaver College are renowned for how much they care for and invest in their students. They are constantly seeking to improve available programs and current curriculum and often encourage students to collaborate with them in innovating curriculum. Faculty are also encouraged to compete the annual Waves of Innovation competition, and it's not uncommon for faculty members to take semesters or years off to work on books or side projects.

-New majors and minors are in varying stages of creation. These minors tend to be more interdisciplinary. For example, a minor in nonprofit management and a minor in sustainability both have coursework in business but also in social sciences. Pepperdine also offers contract majors for students that would like more personalized coursework. 

Business School

- Most of the professors at the Graziadio School of Business have other ventures that they are pursuing. Some are involved with start-ups and some have their own consulting groups that they work with. Professors are very encouraging of student innovation and have even been involved professionally with students after graduation. One of the great selling points of having a small class size is allowing professors to share their personal experience in the field and connect with students about their personal ambitions.
