The PhD and PsyD clinical psychology programs located on the Fresno/Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco campuses are all separately accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). The PhD programs have been accredited at each campus since the 1980s and the PsyD programs, which were
instituted later, all received accreditation in the 1990s and Sacramento in 2002. The PsyD program in clinical psychology that existed at USIU in San Diego was not APA-accredited. Questions regarding the accreditation status of a clinical psychology program attended by an Alliant student or graduate should be directed to the University Registrar. The address of the APA Committee on Accreditation is 750 First St., N.E. Washington, DC 20002, (202) 336-5979.
