Alliant International University - San Diego Campus

Alliant International University is a private, for-benefit, independent university with six California locations: Fresno, Irvine, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Francisco, as well as a location in Mexico City and programs in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Alliant’s undergraduate and graduate students are preparing for careers through degree programs in business, education, law and the behavioral and social sciences.

Our enduring traditions of internationalism and multiculturalism combine in a concept of public service. Alliant’s faculty are dedicated to addressing scholarship from an applied viewpoint. This practical professionalism is the goal of our academic administration, and this orientation permeates interactions between faculty and students. It underlies all of our programs, from the alliances with large corporations, to management consulting activities at the School of Management and Leadership, to the School of Education’s daily efforts to help teachers and children in the classroom. Alliant International University is also home to the California School of Professional Psychology, the original APA-accredited professional school that continues to create new avenues for the practice of psychology.

Alliant’s graduate and undergraduate students provide thousands of hours of community service each year in the communities where our campuses are located much of it to underserved populations. Our faculty members conduct research in fields that are as relevant and urgent as newspaper headlines decrying school violence, hate crimes, and child abuse. We are committed to advancing fields of knowledge through the highest standards of excellence and academic rigor in our teaching and research.

What differentiates Alliant International University from other institutions of higher education are characteristics inherited from Alliant’s two legacy institutions:

1. Excellent academic programs with an orientation toward preparing students for careers as professional practitioners;
2. Outstanding faculty experienced in training people for professional practice roles in their respective disciplines;
3. International and multi-cultural orientation;
4. Preparing students for a profession, while also teaching them how to use their skills to make a difference in the world; and
5. Diverse student population from different cultures and backgrounds.
