The Graziadio Experience

Graziadio Hallmarks

Collaborative

Pepperdine will challenge you with a rigorous curriculum – yet delivered in a collaborative learning environment that fosters teamwork, cooperation, and the sharing of ideas. In business, teams and individuals must work together to achieve common goals. Pepperdine brings this same real-world approach into the classroom. Our small classes and highly accessible faculty help create an engaged community of learners and leaders that will inspire you throughout your experience at Pepperdine – and beyond.

"I developed a special bond with both my peers and the faculty. We were all going through the same experience, and came together as a team. At Pepperdine, the attitude is that we get enough competition in the workplace, and that we're here to learn."

"The Pepperdine program is a learning experience we can treat as a safe laboratory experiment. We're allowed to try new things and make mistakes— as long as we learn from them. I found myself encouraged by colleagues and peers to take risks so I could evolve."
