Info for Parents

Whether your son or daughter is an undergraduate or an adult preparing for her or his professional career, an education from Alliant International University will provide a firm foundation for the future. At Alliant International University, classes are small. More than lectures, they include plenty of interaction between student and professor.

Multicultural Perspective

Alliant prides itself on having instilled a multicultural perspective throughout its curriculum. An Alliant education is highlighted by the chance to study at our Mexico City Campus. Many of our California campuses are quite diverse and provide the opportunity for students to know and befriend others from around the world.

A meaningful part of attending college is making new friends and participating in social events and clubs. At all of campuses, students can participate in numerous organizations and activities organized by local student government chapters.

The Scripps Ranch Campus in San Diego provides student housing, food service and health facilities, in addition to an array of academic supports. On the Scripps Ranch Campus, an annual International Friendship Festival, intercollegiate athletics and recreational sports, dances and cultural nights are among the highlights of student life.

Graduate Students

Graduate students are served at all of our locations. Most graduate students choose a location according to the programs in which they wish to matriculate. All locations offer a combination of exciting cultural amenities and natural recreation, in an abundance found only in California.

Undergraduate Program

Alliant's Center for Undergraduate Education (CUE)  is open to undergraduate transfer students who have completed two year of undergraduate study at another institution and offers cost- and time-efficient opportunities for them to complete a bachelor's or an advanced degree.

Our current undergraduate program is located on the Scripps Ranch Campus, in the beautiful, wooded San Diego suburbs only twenty minutes from downtown San Diego. Three on-campus housing complexes on this campus provide students with a place to call home as well as a place to study, relax, and meet new friends.

Our Mexico City Campus also offers undergraduate programs and is open to the full range of undergraduates, including those who have just completed high school.

On Campus Housing

All of Alliant's California campuses are commuter campuses which do not provide housing, except for the Scripps Ranch Campus. The campus admissions offices can assist students in finding roommates and local housing options.

At the Scripps Ranch Campus, on-campus housing is available for all students. First year undergraduate students are required to live on campus, unless they reside with their parents or legal guardians in San Diego, they are 23 years of age or older, or they are married. Professional sports teams, touring theater, music and museums are just a few of the cultural and recreational opportunities that will enhance the educational experience for your son or daughter.
