Do Pepperdine University require students to take religious classes?

[piggy1210]

I was thinking about applying to Pepperdine. I know it’s a Christian school, but I never really thought about if they require students to take religious classes until my sister brought it up. It would be really nice to leave a comment if you know anything about it! Thanks!

Convocation and Chapel
Each semester, all undergraduates are required to attend 14 programs in the Convocation Series, which are activities aimed at building Christian faith, affirming Christian values, or addressing ethical and moral issues within a Christian worldview posed by current events. Most frequently, students attend the Wednesday morning chapels at Firestone Fieldhouse. Other programs include student-led worship services, small group Bible studies, and individual spiritual mentoring sessions with faculty or staff sponsors.
Additionally, all undergraduates are also required to take three religion courses as a graduation requirement: The History and Religion of Israel, The History and Religion of Early Christianity, and Christianity and Culture. Many students take part in Christian ministries that cater to the Malibu campus community.
