I had high hopes coming to this university. I figured since there were multiple campus it meant the institution was well-oiled. The best thing about my campus are the core faculty. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have stayed here. Recently we were informed our campus was closing. There were no messages about losing the contributions our university provided to the community. Instead, it was rolled out like a marketing ploy. The university was completely insensitive, and still refuses to acknowledge... Read More that losing this campus will prevent individuals from marginalized backgrounds from obtaining higher education degrees. It also refuses to acknowledge all the services our campus provides to the community, specifically related to mental health and substance use treatment. I did my best to make the most out of my time in this program, and I’m disappointed to acknowledge that this is what this institution has turned into.

I have positive comments about Alliant. I graduated with a PsyD from this school when it was formerly known as USIU, back in the 1990s. My professors were excellent and I completed my required pre-doctoral practicum/post-doc supervised hours with well-qualified PhDs. I might add: the comprehensive exam at that time was very thorough, detailed and challenging. If you didnt know the material, you did not pass the comp exam. Since passing the EPPP, I have been employed as a practicing clinician with... Read More a large hospital for many years, and also supervise PhD and PsyD Clinical Psychology students. Everyone has to pass the EPPP no matter where you go to school. Every psych program has its pros-and-cons. I was very happy with my education and training at USIU.

Alliant International University and the CSPP (California School of Professional Psychology) together are quite wonderful. The application process is very straight forward, the interview process is formal and far more easy going than one would initially believe, and the faculty and staff on campus are wonderful. There is a real atmosphere of compassion, growth, and understanding on campus from the faculty, staff, and students in the cohort. Everyone is incredibly driven in a variety of regards and... Read More it is really refreshing to see how much effort everyone puts into everything they do. Being that this is both a graduate and undergraduate campus, I think it's important to recognize that there is a real environment for growth both personally and professionally since there are quite a few graduate students involved in the different aspects of campus life. I definitely recommend this school for anyone who is driven to learn more about Psychology and to progress in their education, as well as wanting to experience a different atmosphere than most larger institutions offer.
