Peer & Aspirational Institutions
Each year, Pepperdine analyzes its schools and compares them to other higher educational
institutions. The formation of these peer and aspirational groups are based on particulars
of the school or programs offered. The selection of other colleges and universities
in relation to Pepperdine provides an evaluative context in which to monitor our
progress and inform strategic planning activities.
Peers: A list of schools considered similar in mission and appropriate
for performance comparison. Student populations served, size, and degree levels
are some of the features that go into selecting these peers.
Aspirational: A list of schools providing goals for Pepperdine
in its programs and/or features.
