Why Alliant
Flexible formats
We design our programs for busy adults because we understand you’re at a stage where family, personal obligations, or current jobs are non-negotiable time commitments. Our faculty have been there, so they work with you to make sure you don’t fall behind in school or in life. With on-campus and online programs available, you can choose the platform that works best for you.
Small classes, individual attention
Small class sizes allow you to get to know your professors and receive individualized attention and guidance every step of the way. From class projects, internships, practicums, all the way through to your dissertation or capstone project, faculty will work with you to set you up for success.
Hands-on, real world training
Many of our programs combine internships, practice, consulting, and community service projects to integrate practical, real-world experience with quality academics. Our goal is to train and equip you with valuable problem-solving and critical-thinking skills to make a difference in your field from the start.
Industry immersion
Staff and faculty work with you to harness every opportunity to present at industry conferences, publish your work, and encourage you to build partnerships with industry organizations while earning your degree.
Faculty who treat you like peers
Alliant has a legacy of faculty who are pioneers in their fields. Such as Viktor Frankl (author of the autobiography, Man’s Search for Meaning), Abraham Maslow (creator of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs), and Virginia Satir (family therapy). That culture continues today with professors who are active in their fields and bring the most current practices and knowledge to their classroom so that one day you can join them as an industry expert and respected colleague.

“Alliant is a system of schools, five separate colleges. We always had one thing in common, though, and that’s our value system. That’s inclusion, mentorship, passion, accountability, communication, and teamwork. Today, we celebrate the next generation of leaders to help shape that world, and that’s you. Are you ready?“
