pepperdine was a real waste of time n money. i was in their B school. tons n tons of useless assignments (some were given with a instruction booklet). 8 subjects covered in a trimester (3 months) as compared to 4-5 subjects in other good B schools (leading to sheer torment n no proper absorption of things taught). over fast pace, no detailed study, sheer bullshit everywhere. The mid terms n the final exams were somtimes 'open book' (wat a scam) u ll really not feel u r learning anything.

Business - Management and Administration
I have not spoken to a single student in the education department here who thinks he/she is getting their money's worth in the program. The field of education is treated as a trade, rather than an academic profession. The coursework is plentiful, but it lingers along at the undergraduate sophomore level rather than the graduate level. Most students feel they are just being fed through the system, rather than being treated as respectable paying student clientele. Many professors are felt to be unqualified.

Education
Pepperdine was the biggest waste of money I've ever had the displeasure of spending. They claim to be an ethical university but when one student was caught plagiarizing twice, they let her graduate on time with no repercussions. All she had to do was threaten to sue. They claim to value their students and say they'll do everything they can to help them secure employment, but then give little to no support to those who need to have a job to help offset the insanely high cost of tuition. Their tuition model also makes little sense. The system in place makes students pay the same amount of money for four courses as you would for three. But if you want to take five, and maybe get out early, they charge you $1234 a unit (at four units per class) extra. This place is a scam. I would not recommend the School of Public Policy to anyone. You are better off spending your money elsewhere and not being weighed down by the one-sided (conservative) teaching models and inflexible staff. The campus is quite beautiful, though. I have to give them that.

Public Policy
I would highly recommend this program for a mid-career adult who is looking to further his/her education. The cohort format supports developing close interpersonal relationships and fosters an environment of collaboration and unity. The courses emphasize the importance of self-awareness and personal growth as the foundation of strong leadership. Ethical leadership is a guiding theme. This program is well worth the financial and time investment.
