Last week, for the first time this school year all of the school leaders got together at a meeting with Associate Dean Dr. Mark Mallinger. The school leaders group consisted of the school government members, our “Emerging Leaders” group and all of the club presidents. In this meeting we discussed the vision, mission statement and future goals of the Pepperdine MBA program. Here’s what we have...
Vision
To Achieve global distinction for advancing knowledge and developing leaders that create value for business and society.
Mission Statement
To develop values-centered leaders and advance responsible business practice through education that is entrepreneurial in spirit, ethical in focus and global in orientation. As a professional school growing out of the tradition of a Christian University, we seek to positively impact both society at large and the organizations and communities in which our students and graduates are members. Therefore, we affirm a higher purpose for business practice than the exclusive pursuit of shareholder wealth. We believe that successful management seeks collective good along with individual profit and is anchored in core values such as integrity, stewardship, courage and compassion.
