International Programs

Important update for our Hong Kong and Tokyo students.

At Alliant International University, we’ve been proud tobe a truly international school. However, times have changed, and our focus has returned to California.

At this time, we are no longer hosting international psychology programs in Hong Kong or Tokyo, Japan, and we are no longer admitting new students into those programs.

If you are currently in any of these programs, know that you will receive the same high standard of education you would receive from Alliant under any circumstance. You are, just like our other graduates, a part of the Alliant family forever.

If you are a currently-enrolled student in either of these programs, the homepages for each respective one may still be found here:

Hong Kong

Clinical Psychology PsyD – Hong Kong

While this marks the end of an era for Alliant, we want to reassure you for the duration of your program, you can expect the same institutional excellence you have received throughout your time in the program. As this final student cohort works its way towards the commencement stage you all will have access to every educational resource you would have as if the program was still accepting new entries, and that we will be there for you as if nothing has changed as this program teaches itself out to completion.

We remain immensely proud of the students we have taught, the professionals we have prepared for the field, and the lives we have changed through the educational journey offered at Alliant, regardless of what country we’re in together, and we thank you for being a part of the Alliant family.

NOTE: If you are currently enrolled in this program the information you may be looking for is still listed below.

Curriculum – Learning Outcomes – Practica and Internships

The curriculum provides training in the scientific foundations of psychology, research, clinical theory, and the hands-on skills a practitioner needs. The PsyD dissertation is meant to demonstrate the student’s ability to think critically about clinical and social issues and to make appropriate use of scientific knowledge and psychological research in professional practice.
The clinical psychology PsyD program is designed to be completed in four years, with a combination of semester-long face to face courses, intensive face to face courses, semester-long online courses, semester-long blended courses (some instruction face to face and some instruction online), and supervised field work. Schedules are designed to accommodate working professionals. Teaching staff are drawn from both CSPP faculty in the U.S. and Hong Kong and the professional psychological community in Hong Kong.
