History

Alliant International University is an independent, not-for-profit, university formed in July 2001 as a result of a merger between California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) and United States International University (USIU). The University is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

In 2005, The Department of Athletics announced a planned two year phase out of the intercollegiate sports program at Alliant International University's San Diego campus due to the high price of funding the program. The Men's and Women's Soccer, Cross Country, Track and Field, Tennis, and Women's Volleyball Teams concluded operations and competition after the 2006-2007 academic year.

In 2008, the Mexican government issued an alert, labeling Alliant International University a diploma mill.
