"We are looking for candidates with strong leadership experience on campus as well as strong professional experience. Pepperdine candidates have an excellent mixture of both. I think the world of the school. The students are fantastic and the Career Services Office is extremely helpful and engaged. And I look forward to partnering with Pepperdine for years to come."

“The partnership with Pepperdine Graziadio and Bank of America has naturally developed over the years through our relationships with Career Services, current students and alumni. We have seen repeated success from MBA students in our Strategy & Management programs through our summer and full-time opportunities. The students bring a new perspective, open-mindedness and a gift for learning as they utilize the business acumen they have developed at Pepperdine into our campus programs. We look forward to continuing our partnership as we move into the 2021 recruitment season!”
