Alliant offers undergraduate degrees on two campuses: San Diego, CA and Mexico City, MX.

Our San Diego campus, in the Scripps Ranch neighborhood just off interstate 15, offers a 2-year bachelor’s degree completion program.  With small classes and no “impacted” programs, Alliant students move through their degree requirements quickly and efficiently. Students transferring to Alliant with 60 credits and taking 15 units per semester are on a clear path to graduation in two years.  
 
Our Mexico City Campus, which is in the heart of the city, at the Zona Rosa and near the U.S. Embassy, offers a full four-year degree program and is the only U.S. university operating independently in Mexico City. Students who want to join Alliant as freshmen and/or are interested in study abroad, have the option of starting in Mexico City and completing their bachelor’s in San Diego or simply taking one semester abroad.

Alliant has day and evening classes as well as hybrid course options. Both the San Diego and Mexico City programs are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). 

The Liberal Studies major at Alliant´s Mexico City campus is a four year bachelor’s degree which allows students to adapt their education to a variety of paths. We also accept AA transfers for a two year degree completion program. Students can choose a concentration in international business or international relations and will study the Latin American Studies minor with other undergraduate majors at the Mexico campus.

Our undergraduate education program provides leadership and works closely with faculty and academic units to create stimulating learning environments inside the classroom while providing avenues for learning outside the classroom and builds upon its student-centered approach.
