Pepperdine University Reviews

"Very expensive and probably not worth the money spent in hindsight."

"Pepperdine taught me how to see both sides of the story and make decisions based on all the information available. The school made me much more confident in my business acumen and I am grateful to have had such an opportunity."

"I cannot express how impressed I am with the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University. It is an excellent program with top-notch professors that care about the success of every student and go out of their way to ensure everyone has a equal opportunity at success. I recommend this program to anyone interested in a business degree and desires personal growth and leadership development."

"There are a ton of pros to Pepperdine -- it's a very relational school and the students are all invested in creating a network post-graduation. The faculty are nearly always accessible and eager to help. The downsides are the costs of living in Malibu or West LA, lack of easy transportation to/from school, and the lack of scholarships available to students (it's a very expensive program!). Otherwise, I would highly recommend this program to students who want to gain hands-on, applicable skills for the business world.Read Less"

"All Graduate programs are difficult. I greatly appreciated my faculty's continued support every time I encountered a challenge I couldn't surpass. They were always there to give me the extra attention I needed to grasp those difficult concepts and succeed."
