Pepperdine University, a private Christian university founded in 1937 by entrepreneur George Pepperdine, operates under dedicated ZIP code 90263 in Malibu, Los Angeles County.

Today the 830-acre campus overlooks the Pacific Ocean from the Santa Monica Mountains foothills. The USPS assigned this unique designation in June 2013, though the ZIP has been in service over two decades.

The 28% Asian population indicates the diversity of a globally-oriented private university. Ten ZIP+4 codes route mail to Pepperdine University facilities along Pacific Coast Highway.
