The Broader View
Pepperdine Microenterprise Program
Gain An Edge, Pay It Forward
The Pepperdine Microenterprise Program was inspired by Nobel Peace Prize recipient Dr. Muhammad Yunus' speech on social entrepreneurship in 2007 at Pepperdine University.
As a result, we now partner with transitional shelters in the greater L.A. area, providing residents with an education focused on personal growth, career development, and entrepreneurship.
Our institutes and centers advance business practices and foster intellectual leadership as we develop the purpose-driven leaders that drive positive change in their communities.
Our Pepperdine Graziadio faculty are award-winning scholars who publish research, working papers, journals, and more while engaging in the business community.
