What We Look For in an Applicant

Pepperdine is a Christian university committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, where students are strengthened for lives of purpose, service, and leadership. We are eager to see how students align with our mission as demonstrated through their academic progression, extracurricular activities, and writing supplements. The way students have shown purpose, service, and leadership can look different from person to person, but these are traits that many of our admitted students have in common.
