History

Alliant International University, in its current form, is a combination 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 to the present, one constant among these institutions has been a legacy of empowerment and impact. We have kept the tradition of employing noteworthy faculty and graduating students dedicated to making a difference. Together they have impacted the world in a profound way.

Alliant’s history 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. 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 are graduates of the Law School.

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 undergraduate and graduate studies in new disciplines, beginning with the Department of Accounting in 1945 and changed its name to Balboa University. In 1952, Balboa University was renamed again to California Western University and relocated to Point Loma, west of downtown San Diego.

In 1968, the undergraduate and graduate programs moved to the current Scripps Ranch location in northeast San Diego and became 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 integrating classroom learning 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 began instruction in September 1970, on the Los Angeles and San Francisco campuses. Later CSPP opened campuses and 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 joined forces to become Alliant International University. In 2010, the San Francisco Law School became part of Alliant. In 2014, SFLS began a law program at Alliant’s San Diego campus.

In 2015, Alliant International University transitioned to a public benefit corporation structure that has provided new opportunities for growth 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 supports Alliant students, faculty, and new initiatives. The foundation oversees scholarships, donations, grants, contracts, research and other areas of philanthropic collaboration with the university.

Today, Alliant is comprised of six schools, California School of Professional Psychology, California School of Education, California School of Management and Leadership, California School of Forensic Studies, San Francisco Law School, and School of Nursing and Health Sciences and has locations in six California cities San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Fresno, Sacramento, and Irvine along with a new campus in Phoenix, Arizona and a medical school in Mexico City, Mexico. Alliant is also proud to offer a variety of accredited online programs in education, business, and psychology.

Professional Practice Competencies

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. 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:

Diversity and Inclusion Statement

Inclusive Excellence

Alliant International University welcomes a student body, faculty and staff population, and guests who represent a wide range of identities and backgrounds; at the core of who we are as an institution is the commitment to ensuring that all feel valued and respected. Inclusive excellence indicates that all students, faculty, and staff can excel in a safe and inclusive learning environment where they can develop and thrive without having to compromise important aspects of their identity, and that diversity and inclusion are proactively embedded throughout the university as a foundation for its success. Inclusive excellence means that knowledge, mastery, achievement, and success are distributed equitably across all students and members of the university, and that diversity and inclusion are systematically leveraged to catalyze student learning, educational excellence, and institutional excellence.

Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Mission Statement:

The mission of the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at Alliant International University is to promote an academically enriching and supportive climate that allows all members of our community to thrive and succeed. The Office of DEIB collaborates with units on campus to provide a comprehensive, university-wide approach to diversity, inclusivity, access, and equity. Through strategic planning and programmatic development, we empower students, faculty, and staff to build a diverse and inclusive campus community. The Office of DEIB strives to transform our academic community into an environment where all will thrive and grow as they recognize their value in an ever-changing global community.

Center for Inclusive Excellence:

The Center for Inclusive Excellence (CIE) is designed to elevate, celebrate, and promote an inclusive campus climate through collaboration, support, targeted programming, professional development, advocacy, policy recommendation, and the facilitation of cross-cultural resources. The goal of this center is to foster an affirming campus community that is engaged in embedding the core principles of Alliant’s IMPACT Values through academic excellence, commitment to social justice, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Office of DEIB Areas of Focus:

Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) partners with all sectors of Alliant International University to create a multicultural and globally responsive university. Office of DEIB key areas of focus:

1. Campus Climate and Intergroup Relations
2. Access and Retention
3. Institutional Systems & Structure
4. Education, Scholarship & Research

Many Alliant faculty 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.

University’s Self-Evaluation Process (Program Improvements)

Alliant is committed to program improvement through external and internal review. Professional, governmental, and other accrediting organizations engage in cyclical program-based review to ensure organizational- or agency-developed standards are met.   

As part of professional accreditation processes, a program may establish an improvement plan or make changes to improve program outcomes. More information on changes currently being made to improve the program, if any are underway, are available from the Program Director.

University Program Review Process

A University Program Review process ensures programs consistently assessed and revised as needed. The overarching purpose of Alliant’s Program Review process is to ensure that programs take a planned and thoughtful approach to quality enhancement and improving student learning and student success. The process is designed to promote: 

1. Alignment of the program with the School and university mission;
2. Program self-reflection, planning and change, based on determined strengths, weaknesses and data;
3. Program modifications and enhancements leading to improved student success and programs that respond to the needs of employers and the profession;
4. Improved assessment practices;
5. Consistent incorporation of key data and performance indicators into Program decision making; and
6. Overall Program quality.

Intensive Reviews

Programs undergo Intensive Review every 6-7 years; these reviews may include specialty accreditation program reviews. 

As part of the Intensive Review process, programs submit self-evaluations addressing institutional standards and guidelines. Program reviewers provide evaluation reports program strengths and areas for improvement. The programs then address any areas for improvement, working closely with the School Dean.

Changes made in the program curricula to improve the programs appear in a subsequent Alliant catalog.

The Consumer Information page presents a variety of policies, procedures, and other important information and disclosures for prospective/current students, parents, employees, and the public.

Institutional Authority

Alliant International University reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any student who violates University policies and procedures or applicable local, state, or federal laws.

Violations of University Policies and Procedures

Alliant International University has developed policies and procedures to comply with accreditation standards and applicable regulations. Violations will subject students to disciplinary action and sanctions up to and including dismissal from the university.

Violations of federal, state, and local laws are incorporated as offenses under the Student Code of Conduct. When an offense occurs over which the University has institutional authority, the University conduct process will usually go forward notwithstanding any criminal charges that may arise from the same incident. Should a student withdraw from the university when criminal charges are made, it is the typical practice of the University to pursue investigation and resolution of conduct matters, regardless of whether the student has withdrawn or not.

When criminal charges are pending, the University may be delayed or prevented from conducting its own investigation, and moving forward with a hearing. In such cases, the University will delay its hearing until it can conduct an internal investigation or obtain from law enforcement sufficient information upon which to proceed.

Arist Education System LLC is a Delaware limited liability company whose duration is perpetual. Arist owns 100% of Alliant’s outstanding common and preferred stock.

Alliant locations are served by a Campus Director (CD), or other administrative leadership. The CDs are charged with providing leadership and guidance for the campus community, coordinating campus activities, and overseeing student services and basic campus functions.

At each location, the core faculty members are organized into a Faculty Assembly. There is also a system-wide Faculty Senate with representatives from each location and school. Faculty are directly involved in all aspects of academic programs including student recruitment, selection, monitoring, evaluation, curriculum development, faculty recruitment, and performance monitoring.

Policy recommendations often originate from standing and ad hoc committees of faculty, staff and/or student representatives. Alliant’s Staff Council represents the voice of staff in institutional decision making. The Student Government Association (SGA) represents all students. The Association is a self-governing body involved in developing an effective student role in institutional life, student welfare, and the quality of education.
