Credential and Non-Degree Programs
Programs offering credentials and certificates in a variety of fields, generally for professionals, are shown by school.
Open University
Students who have not yet fulfilled necessary requirements for admissions into a degree program, may apply to be part of the Open University Program, which is a Non-Degree granting program. However, a student with 24 units of undergraduate work earned will qualify for co-enrollment under this special program. A student who is classified as part of the Open University Program need not necessarily meet the admission requirements for a degree program, but may be requested to complete a one page application form and supporting documentation. The application fee will be waived for students applying to this Program.
Those who qualify for Open University enrollment will benefit from a service package which includes discounted tuition and fees. Open University students will also benefit from all other student services which are available to degree seeking students at Alliant International University. For instance, a student will have an Academic Advisor who will provide professional guidance and a personalized study plan.
Open University students are not eligible for financial aid.
In addition to the application form, International students will need to provide a permission letter from the primary institution where the student is currently enrolled as a full time student. The letter must include proof of full time enrollment and evidence of I-120 under the particular institution.
Students who pursue this program will receive a certificate of class completion from Alliant. In addition, students will have the option to continue at Alliant International University and apply for a degree completion undergraduate program.
From this admission status, a student may apply for full admission to the university through the regular admission process. If the student becomes a degree-seeking student, a maximum of 21 semester units (undergraduate) earned while in the Open University program category may be applied toward a degree seeking program.
Tuition and fees for this program are presented in catalog section “Expenses and Financial Aid”.
Extended Degree and Part-Time Programs
The Fresno campus and Sacramento campus offer doctoral programs in clinical psychology on a part-time basis. This option is available to those entering at all levels. All such part-time programs include one year in a full-time internship and have a time limit for completion.
Most clinical psychology doctoral programs at the Los Angeles campus require that all students attend full-time unless a modified program has been approved.
The San Diego campus offers an extended degree option within most clinical psychology programs for students who wish to study at an adjusted pace. Students may extend their programs for one or two years to increase the duration for each program to a maximum of seven years for graduate level entry and six years for those entering with credit for previous graduate work. (This does not include additional time for doctoral extension).
In all of its doctoral clinical psychology programs, the San Francisco Bay campus provides a moderated option in which students enroll at two-thirds pace (8-11 units per term). Students complete the two pre-candidacy years in three years at a moderated pace. Students entering the moderated program after advancement to candidacy complete the remaining years in three to five years, depending upon the degree program and internship option chosen. The coordinator of advising and enrollment provides assistance to moderated students in planning their programs. The campus usually does not permit students accepted and enrolled in the doctoral programs to pursue the doctoral degree at a part-time pace below nine units per term.
