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). In the US, the Alliant is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Alliant is also US-accredited to award degrees in Mexico.
The main campus is located in San Diego, California, in the Scripps Ranch section. There are branch campuses and schools located throughout the world.
Alliant International University, under the direct leadership of president Geoffrey Cox and CFO Tarun Bhatia, has recently failed the Department of Education's financial responsibility scale as can be viewed at:

[edit] USIU
[edit] General
As the name implied, United States International University named because it made a special effort to recruit students from around the world.
In the early 1980s, USIU held a broadcast license to operate KUSI, a startup UHF television station in San Diego. But for unknown reasons, USIU decided not to launch the channel. The license was transferred to Texas businessman Mike McKinnon and it began as a commercial station in 1982. KUSI still exists as an independent station.
[edit] Athletics
USIU once had an athletics program which was a member of NCAA Division I. Sports sponsored included basketball, baseball, soccer, cross country, track and field, tennis, and volleyball. There was also a football program that produced a late-round draft pick by a National Football League team, but it was eventually discontinued. At one time, USIU also had the only Division I ice hockey program west of the Rocky Mountains.
In January 1989, USIU lost a game to Loyola Marymount 186-150. The 186 points remains a Division I record for most points allowed in a single contest. Kevin Bradshaw paced the Gulls with 72 points.
Due to continued expenses and a growing focus on post-graduate education, USIU ended its basketball program just before the merger. The baseball and hockey programs had already been abolished by this time. The remaining programs were shut down in 2007.
