The University was founded in 1937 by George Pepperdine, a Christian businessman who started the Western Auto Supply Company. For the first 30 years of its life, the institution was a small, mostly undergraduate college. Following the expansion of new schools, the college was announced as Pepperdine University in 1971. In 1972 the University opened its new campus at Malibu.
A college education is a healthy blend of a strong curriculum and curriculum. Seaver College is known for both high academic standards, as well as vibrant student life.
