Alliant International University is an independent, not-for-profit, upper-division university formed in July 2001 as a result of a merger between California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) and United States International University (USIU). Drawing on the legacies of both CSPP and USIU, Alliant continues to be dedicated to multiculturalism and internationalism. The University develops applied social scientists and professionals for practice in a global context. In 2005, US News & World Reports ranked Alliant International University the most international among national doctoral-intensive universities. Doctoral programs are currently being developed in collaboration with universities in Hong Kong and mainland China in an effort to aide in the advancement of the psychology profession in Asia. In 2006, the School of Management was named after University professor, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith.
