Testimonials

Lauren Gibbs, Olympic Silver Medalist and Executive MBA Alumna

When I first applied, I was uncertain that I would be able to manage the coursework as well as my full-time job. Pepperdine showed me that I can accomplish anything as long as I am surrounded by the right people and have access to the right resources."

Lauren Gibbs, EMBA '14
