The Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) holds a unique leadership position in higher education through our unwavering commitments to academic excellence, the student experience, and community partnerships. GSEP strives to educate the whole person, in both intellect and spirit. We consider it especially important to dedicate ourselves to these efforts, given the vital importance of the fields of education and psychology. These professions exist to serve the needs of others—to educate and heal the minds and souls of the community. To this end, GSEP is dedicated to exemplifying and providing inspiration for change. It is our profound vision to encourage our students to serve, change, and improve the community, as well as inspire other institutions to take on greater and more charitable commitments by leading by example.
