Convocation Requirement
At Pepperdine each student has to get 14 convocation credits in a semester. There are tons of creative ways to get this requirement done without having to go down to the gym on wednesday mornings! A crowd favorite is Celebration Chapel on fridays: students gather to sing worship songs and then hear a Pepperdine student speak. Students also have the option to sign up for mentorship. Each time you meet with your staff/faculty mentor you get a convo credit!The Plaza!
The plaza is the center of main campus and is easily accessible from all academic buildings. The benches by the fountain have a statue of George Pepperdine, our founder, reading a bible. Those benches are a favorite place to watch the sunset over the ocean.Friday Night!
Pepperdine has a dry campus. This means that no alcohol is allowed, even if you are of legal drinking age. Most of our students like to find other fun things to do, like intramural sports, watching movies, or exploring LA!Pepperdine's Quick & Basic Facts
Pepperdine has people of diverse backgrounds. We are affiliated with the Church of Christ, but you do not have to be affiliated with that denomination to attend. You do not have to be Christian at all! Pepperdine welcomes people of all faith backgrounds, nationalities, genders, races, etc. Whoever you are, we'd love to see you apply!
