Graziadio Business School
Founded in 1969, the Graziadio Business School carries forward the values of George Pepperdine, a Christian entrepreneur who believed business education should be grounded in both academic excellence and moral character. That legacy lives on as Graziadio prepares students to become ethical, entrepreneurial, and globally aware leaders who drive meaningful change.
In 1996, the school was named in honor of George L. Graziadio, a successful Southern California entrepreneur and co-founder of Imperial Bank. His commitment to innovation, leadership, and philanthropy continues to inspire our mission today.
