1 History

Pepperdine University was stablished in 1937, by George Pepperdine. For thirty years, Pepperdine College was a small undergraduate school located in south-central Los Angeles. It gained university status in 1971 when a school of law was added and the business and education departments became separate schools. In 1972, through the generosity of Frank Roger Seaver, Pepperdine opened a new 830 acre (3.4 kmē) campus in Malibu. In 1975, the undergraduate program was named Seaver College in honor of the Seavers. The law school is located on a separate campus in downtown Los Angeles.
