About This School
Alliant International University-San Diego is a private for-profit institution located in San Diego, California with approximately 391 undergraduate students enrolled. Admissions are highly selective, with an acceptance rate of 0%. In-state tuition is $14,304 per year. Typical graduates earn $65,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers here raise real concerns — a 22% graduation rate means roughly 4 out of 5 students who enroll don't finish, which is a serious red flag regardless of your goals. On the upside, median earnings of $65,200 at 10 years out are reasonable, and the $12,500 median debt is notably low compared to most private institutions. Worth considering only if you have a very specific program need that can't be met elsewhere, and you've honestly assessed what's driving that low graduation rate.
