Student Life: Diverse, Accessible, Inclusive.

Nestled across six beautiful campuses in California, Alliant University continues in the tradition of “small schools” with “big ideas”, where our biggest goal is to ensure that our students get the most out of their educational experience. Our responsive and friendly staff are committed to sharing with you the opportunity to thrive. When you’re with us, the freedom to be your authentic self and to be appreciated and encouraged for who you are is an essential and unique part of the Alliant experience. We fully support our Student Government Associations (SGA’s), professional associations and affinity clubs and welcome you to engage with and empower the Alliant community.

The focus on issues of diversity and equity that is consistent throughout the coursework sets CSPP apart from other programs in California.
