Historical note
At George Pepperdine College, Education and Psychology were initially two separate departments. In 1957, Olaf H. Tegner was
named head of the Education Department, then appointed dean of the School of Education in 1970. The School of Education offered
Pepperdine's first doctoral degree, the Ed.D., in 1976. After Pepperdine's Los Angeles campus closed in 1981, the School
of Education merged with the Psychology Division and both moved to a business park in West Los Angeles named Pepperdine University
Plaza. In 1982, the schools were renamed as the Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP).
GSEP offered the Doctor of Psychology degree for the first time in 1986. Between 1988 and 1990, GSEP added master’s degree
programs in educational technology, school business administration, and clinical psychology. In 1988 GSEP was the first of
Pepperdine’s schools to appoint a female dean, Dr. Nancy Magnusson Fagan. As the programs of GSEP and the School of Business
and Management grew with demand from around Southern California, other campus spaces were leased in Long Beach (1990) and
Westlake Village (1995).
After the success of the fundraising campaign "Challenged to Lead," the Pepperdine was able to build the Drescher Graduate
Campus on Pepperine's Malibu campus. The campus was opened in August, 2003, and houses GSEP, the Graziadio School of Business
and Management, and the School of Public Policy. The programs formerly held at Pepperdine University Plaza location were
relocated to the Howard Hughes Center in West Los Angeles. In 2010, GSEP introduced MA degrees in school counseling and social
entrepreneurship and change. Currently, GSEP programs are offered at the Drescher Graduate Campus in Malibu, the West Los
Angeles graduate campus, the Encino Graduate Campus, the Irvine Graduate Campus, and the Westlake Village Graduate Campus.
Biographical note
Olaf H. Tegner was appointed as the first dean of the School of Education in 1970. He graduated from George Pepperdine College
in 1943, majoring in history and minoring in psychology. He served in the military briefly, but returned to Pepperdine to
start the Alumni Association in 1944, and started teaching history at Pepperdine in 1946. Tegner was named head of the Education
Department in 1957, then appointed dean of the School of Education in 1970, and then later given the title of dean emeritus
of the Education Division of GSEP after his retirement. He passed away in October, 2005, at the age of 87, after being at
Pepperdine nearly non-stop for 66 years. An endowed scholarship to benefit GSEP students was named in his honor.
