A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP
In 2001, two renowned institutions combined to form Alliant International University: the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP), founded in 1969 and United States International University (USIU), founded in 1967. USIU formed as the successor to the stalwart institutions California Western University, founded in 1952, and Balboa College, founded in 1924. At Alliant, we celebrate this legacy of academic leadership every day with innovative faculty and staff committed to excellence in higher education.
