Student Testimonial

"My experience at the Graziadio School has been one of the most empowering dimensions of my life. The professors encourage interaction and feedback among classmates and with faculty members. My courses have helped me become more analytical and identify the business disciplines that are most engaging for me in my career."

BSM and MBAJ '05

Interested students with a 3.4 grade point average in Pepperdine's Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) program who have all general education requirements completed should submit applications during their fourth term of enrollment, or upon completion of 40 BSM units. This permits eligible students to be provisionally accepted for the MBAJ and allows them to register for their last two terms in a modified curriculum (transition track) that includes transition classes to assist in preparing for the MBA program.

Students who complete the modified program are then awarded their BSM degrees and, providing eligibility is maintained, are fully admitted to the MBAJ program at the end of their sixth term.
