Academic and Program Counseling Services
Individuals who are considering applying to a program should contact the
program administrator for general information. Prospective students may also
schedule a personal appointment with a program administrator for academic
and program counseling. In keeping with Pepperdine’s long-standing tradition
of concern for students, every effort is made to provide the kind of personalized
guidance desirable at the graduate level but often unavailable at larger
institutions. For this reason, faculty members, program directors, and program
administrators make a concerted effort to be available at times convenient to
students and to assist in resolving issues related to their course of study. Enrolled
students are provided academic and career counseling through both the faculty
and staff. Students are encouraged to request a counseling appointment
whenever they have questions regarding their programs. In addition, students
may also obtain valuable information from program booklets.
Alcohol and Drug Counseling Services
Confidential counseling and treatment are available to students who have
problems related to alcohol or drugs. Details are included in the "Substance
Abuse Policy" in the Legal Notices section of this catalog.
Community Counseling Clinics
Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology
maintains three on-campus counseling centers at the West Los Angeles,

vocational evaluation and counseling, as well as individual, couple, and family
therapy. Services are provided by Pepperdine master's as well as doctoral
students, under the supervision of licensed psychologists. The clinic staff
