Forensic psychologists study stalkers, multiple murderers, predators and their victims, and bring this expertise into the justice system. Forensic specializations available to our students include: child abuse and neglect, juvenile justice, sex offenders, neuropsychology, criminal profiling, terrorism, malingering, jury selection and many more.
The California School of Forensic Studies at Alliant International University is pioneering the field of forensic psychology both nationally and internationally. The School opened the first doctoral program in forensic studies and now runs the world's largest program. Under the direction of Dean Hickey, the California School of Forensic studies specializes in training professionals to become well-rounded practitioners who possess broad-based knowledge of both the field of psychology and the law.
Focusing on international graduate study, the California School of Forensic Studies now has programs in both Pretoria, South Africa and Rome. We are also expanding to other international sites. |
