Dedicated Executive Mentor

The Pepperdine Presidents and Key Executives MBA program is the first and only MBA for the C-suite to feature a dedicated executive mentor. An executive mentor is an experienced, accomplished alumnus with a comprehensive portfolio of academic accomplishments and executive-level success. They are an integral member of your class cohort throughout the duration of the program, serving as mentors to both individuals and the entire group. They review students’ papers, provide advice and counsel, mediate conflict, and maintain continuity throughout each program cohort. Our Executive Mentors are all “doctorally trained” as all mentors are required to have a doctoral degree or be pursuing one.
