History
George Pepperdine, noticing an alarming number of Christians who lose their faith after going on to higher education, set out to create a school that would provide an education taught by teachers who shared his faith and would support their students through their faith.[2] On September 21, 1937, the school opened as George Pepperdine College.[2]
“ | There are many good colleges and universities which can give you standard academic training, but if our school does not give you more than that, it really has no reason to exist. The great difference between this college and other colleges is that we are endeavoring to place adequate emphasis and greater stress upon religious teaching and Christian character. | ” |
—George Pepperdine addressed the students, [2] |
