San Diego Campus Overview
Alliant's Scripps Ranch Campus is our most "traditional" location, with on-site housing, a dining hall, the Alliant SportCenter. Its centerpiece Walter Library - a facility that will soon be renovated - and the striking and unspoiled natural setting in San Diego is what sets it apart from most colleges. The 60-acre campus lies in Scripps Ranch, a safe, wooded community about 12 miles east of the ocean and 20 minutes from downtown.
Alliant's diverse student population here in San Diego reflects the area itself – the campuses welcome about one-third of their students from countries other than the US. The faculty and staff are similarly diverse -- and that is a deep rooted tradition here. Scripps Ranch was the flagship campus of United States International University (USIU), one of the two universities that combined in 2001 to form Alliant International. Reflecting USIU's international mission and history, colorful international flags line the roads and walkways that wind through the 60-acre campus.
Small class sizes, close student-faculty interaction, active student organizations and residence life are some of the defining characteristics of the Scripps Ranch Campus. The Professional Preparation Programs offered by the Center for Undergraduate Education (CUE) are headquartered here, and a wide range of graduate programs are also offered here.
