Pepperdine Graziadio’s Bachelor of Science in Management Celebrates Third Annual Advanced Specialization in Entrepreneurship

On Saturday, April 6, 2025, Pepperdine Graziadio Business School’s Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) Program celebrated a major milestone in innovation and leadership. Twenty-five students completed the 3rd annual Advanced Specialization in Entrepreneurship—a signature of Graziadio’s commitment to experiential business education.

Hosted by Dr. Virginia Green and Dr. Sean Jasso at the historic Los Angeles Athletic Club, the event brought together students, faculty, and alumni to honor the spirit of entrepreneurship. A highlight of the evening was the return of five BSM alumni entrepreneurs, who shared inspiring stories of resilience, startup growth, and real-world impact since earning their specialization. Their journeys showcased the thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem emerging from the program.

Designed and taught by Dr. Green—an executive leader in entrepreneurship and recipient of Pepperdine’s prestigious Howard A. White Award for Teaching Excellence—the specialization features three dynamic, two-unit intensives collectively called The Entrepreneur’s Journey. Since launching in February 2022, the series has empowered students to transform ideas into market-ready ventures through a focus on innovation, entrepreneurial mindset, customer validation, and feasibility analysis.

Now three years strong, the Advanced Specialization in Entrepreneurship continues to expand in both prestige and community, attracting visionary students and alumni dedicated to shaping the future of business.
