<p>I am wondering has anybody here applied to Pepperdine? if so, what are u stats?</p>

<p>Though I have applied myself just for the hell of applying, I did not complete some of their required religion course, instead i have satisfied the IGETC for the UC system. I have 45 units complete and a lot of courses in my field of study (polysci major). </p>

<p>My GPA is 3.5 and I'm just curious will they say its ok, and then I'll take those religion course when I transfer( if i transfer), or it is a must that you take those religion courses?</p>

<p>REL 102 The History and Religion of Early Christianity</p>

<p>REL 301 Christianity and Culture</p>

<p>you have to take the above courses. Pepperdine is a Christian school, didn't u know?</p>

5

<p>what if ur cc doesn't offer any?</p>

<p>i don't know what would be done in that case, but my cc does offer the courses. I'm just hoping they would let me make up those courese after i transfer.</p>

<p>Pepperdine will let you to take those classes once you transfer, in fact, they will require you to do so. As noted above, they are a religious school and do require religion classes of all of their graduates. I don't think there's a way around that at Pepperdine. By the way, there are THREE religion courses, not two, required to graduate from Pepperdine.</p>

<p>carolyn, I know that theres no way around it, but my concern is, do i have to complete those courese BEFORE i transfer, which i do not think i will be able to do, or will they allow me to makeup those courses by accepting me and saying i must take those courses?</p>

<p>You could always email admissions to double check but I suspect Pepperdine would prefer that you complete them there so they can fill you in on their brand of religion.</p>
