Founding PsyD Program Director & Core Faculty

Alliant International University is dedicated to preparing students for impactful professional careers that serve diverse communities worldwide. For students seeking to make a tangible difference, Alliant provides an education that emphasizes practical application and hands-on experience. Many of our customers, the students, are post-graduates aiming to earn a master's or doctoral degree and require a curriculum that bridges academic theory with real-world practice. To meet this need, our programs are built around a combination of internships, practica, consulting, and community service projects, ensuring that graduates are equipped with the skills and confidence to excel in their chosen fields from day one. We understand that today's students need to be prepared for the complexities of a multicultural world, which is why our foundation of inclusiveness and internationalism is woven into every aspect of our university.

Our students are driven by a desire to address major contemporary social issues, and we empower them to do so. The faculty and staff at Alliant work closely with each student, fostering opportunities to present at industry conferences, publish their work, and build crucial partnerships with professional organizations while they are still earning their degree. This approach not only enhances their learning but also accelerates their professional growth. With a legacy of nearly 50,000 alumni who are transforming industries from the U.S. Congress to NASA and the United Nations, we have a proven track record of helping students succeed on purpose. Whether through our on-campus programs in California or our accessible online offerings, we provide the tools and support necessary for our students to become leaders and agents of change in their communities and beyond, improving the lives of people everywhere.
