Introduction

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.

Vision and Mission Statement

Our Vision: An inclusive world empowered by Alliant alumni.

Our Mission: Alliant International University prepares students for professional careers of service and leadership, and promotes the discovery and application of knowledge to improve the lives of people in diverse cultures and communities around the world.

History

Alliant International University gets its name from the merger of three legacy institutions: San Francisco Law School founded in 1909, United States International University (USIU) founded in 1927, and the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) founded in 1969. In 2001, USIU and CSPP merged, forming Alliant with San Francisco Law School (SFLS) joining in 2010. From 1909 through today, one constant among these institutions has been a legacy of empowerment and impact. We have kept the tradition of employing noteworthy faculty and graduating high-achieving students. Together they have impacted the world in a profound way.

Alliant’s origin story begins in 1909 when the San Francisco Law School first opened its doors in the Bay Area. SFLS was the first evening law program in the western United States and was among the first law schools to actively recruit women. SFLS continues to serve students who may not have the opportunity to pursue traditional legal education. The Law School graduated former California Governor Edmund Pat Brown, former Lieutenant Governor Leo T. McCarthy, and former Undersecretary of the United States Department of Energy Joseph F. Salgado.

In 1927, Leland Ghent Stanford chartered a private, graduate institution called Balboa Law College-the first law school in San Diego. Balboa Law College expanded to include undergraduate and graduate studies beginning with the Department of Accounting in 1945, changing its name to Balboa University. In 1952, Balboa University changed its name to California Western University and relocated to Point Loma, west of downtown San Diego.

In 1968, the undergraduate and graduate programs moved to its current location in Scripps Ranch in northeast San Diego and changed its name to United States International University (USIU). During the 1970s, USIU became a center for humanistic psychology with a faculty that included Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, and Victor Frankl. Igor Ansoff, one of the founders of the field of strategic management, was also a long-time faculty member.

The California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) was founded in 1969 by the California Psychological Association to train doctoral level psychologists who matched the diversity of California residents. CSPP was one of the first free-standing schools of professional psychology in the nation. At the time, most clinical psychologists were trained in research universities. CSPP took an innovative approach of classroom learning integrated with application of knowledge in a variety of field placements, a departure from the prevalent focus on theory and research. Founding President, Dr. Nicholas Cummings, was later president of the American Psychological Association.

The first CSPP schools had instruction start in September, 1970, on the Los Angeles and San Francisco campuses. Later CSPP opened programs in San Diego, Fresno, Sacramento, Irvine, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Mexico. At the turn of the millennium, CSPP renamed itself Alliant University when all CSPP campuses merged under one WASC accreditation.

In 2001, USIU and CSPP merged and renamed the institution Alliant International University. In 2010, the San Francisco Law School merged with Alliant, and because of this new partnership, in 2014, SFLS extended its reach and started a program at Alliant’s San Diego campus.

In 2015, Alliant International University transitioned to a benefit corporation structure that enables the university to attract capital investments to further enhance program offerings, technology, student services and student outcomes while retaining a primary commitment to Alliant’s social benefit mission of education and professional training. That year also saw the creation of the Alliant Educational Foundation, an independent, non-profit organization that operates in coordination with and as partial owner of the university. The foundation oversees scholarships, donations, grants, contracts, research and clinical training, and professional service centers affiliated with the university.

Today, Alliant is comprised of five schools: California School of Professional Psychology, California School of Education, California School of Management and Leadership, California School of Forensic Studies, and San Francisco Law School, and in six California cities San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, and Irvine, and three international locations Tokyo, Hong Kong, and St. Luke Medical School in Mexico City.

Professional Practice Competencies

In order to achieve its vision as a professional practice university, Alliant has adopted a set of professional practice competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) that all students should master at levels appropriate to their degree programs. These competencies must be learned and practiced in the context of Alliant’s core values of Integrity, Intellectual Advancement, Diversity, Social Responsibility, Innovation, Stewardship, and Community & Partnership. The competencies were based on existing core competencies and student learning outcomes in Alliant schools and programs, and on an evaluation of competencies necessary for professional practice in communities around the world.

The Alliant Professional Practice Competencies are organized as A(lliant) IMPACT:

Each program at Alliant aligns these overarching University competencies with its program-specific and discipline-specific competencies or student learning outcomes appropriate to the program degree level.

Diversity and Inclusion Statement

Multiculturalism, Internationalism & Diversity

Alliant International University is a professional practice university that educates students to work in a multicultural and international world. An Alliant education focuses on multicultural and international communities and issues, and it provides students with rich exposure to challenging, real world problems and their solutions.

At Alliant, we recognize that no matter where our graduates choose to work and live, they will need to be able to work productively with colleagues and clients who grew up in situations very different from their own. Around the world, the forces of technology and globalization are changing the context in which we all live, and our communities are increasingly diverse with respect to nationality, race, ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, and religion. We strive to foster students’ multicultural and international responsiveness in all of Alliant’s educational programs.

I-MERIT

I-MERIT (International and Multicultural Education, Research, Intervention and Training) was created in 2005 in order to connect and further advance the work of Alliant’s two legacy institutions in the areas of multicultural and international education.

I-MERIT partners with all sectors of Alliant International University to create a multicultural and globally responsive university. I-MERIT works in three core areas:

1. Promoting diversity (including in race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, ability, and age) - in students, staff/administrators, faculty, and Board members
2. Creating an inclusive, welcoming University and campus climate, where all Alliant members feel included and affirmed
3. Infusing all academic programs and curricula with multicultural and international content and relevant pedagogical approaches

Alliant has an impressive number of faculty who are national or global experts in multicultural and/or international issues in psychology, education, business and management, and related fields. All Alliant academic programs include attention to developing students’ international and multicultural responsiveness, so that students gain the awareness, knowledge, and skills that will prepare them to work effectively with diverse populations, including traditionally underserved and marginalized populations, throughout the world.
