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 profound ways.

In 1927, Leland Ghent Stanford chartered a private, graduate institution called Balboa Law College, the first law school in San Diego. Following many evolutions, this college moved to the current Scripps Ranch location in northeast San Diego in 1968, 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 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.

Founded in 1909, the San Francisco Law School (SFLS) was the first evening law program in the western United States and was among the first law schools to actively recruit women. 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 2010, the San Francisco Law School became part of Alliant.

In 2015, Alliant International University incorporated in California and 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, and other areas of philanthropic activities.

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

At Alliant International University, we embrace a diverse community of students, faculty, staff, and guests, each bringing unique identities and backgrounds. Our institution is dedicated to ensuring that everyone feels valued and respected. 

We believe in inclusive excellence, where every individual-student, faculty, and staff-can thrive in a supportive and welcoming environment without compromising their identity. Diversity and inclusion are integral to our university’s foundation, fostering success at every level.

Inclusive excellence means that knowledge, mastery, and achievement are accessible to all members of our community. We leverage diversity and inclusion to enhance student learning, academic excellence, and institutional success.

ODEIB Mission Statement

The mission of the Office for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (ODEIB) 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 ODEIB collaborates with units on campus to provide a comprehensive, university-wide approach to diversity, inclusivity, access, and equity.

ODEIB Vision

The vision of the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging is to position Alliant International University as the national model for inclusive excellence in higher education.

ODEIB Focus

The ODEIB provides leadership and expertise to the Alliant Community to advance its commitment to inclusive excellence, community service, and academic excellence.

Through programmatic and educational initiatives, the ODEIB enables our faculty, staff, and students to reach their potential while promoting the appreciation of cultural diversity and foster intercultural and cross-cultural understanding.

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.

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.

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.
