His brother, Dwight Stanford, served as one of the first deans. Leland Ghent Stanford is not related to the founder of Stanford University, Leland Stanford, though he did earn both his undergraduate and law degrees at Stanford. He also received a M.A. and Ph. D in Government Administration there. Balboa Law College expanded to include undergraduate and other graduate studies and changed its name to Balboa University. The law school was closed in 1946. In 1955 the License was transferred to Balboa Corporation, to open Balboa University in New Mexico, now school in distant education, based in Santa Teresa, Dona Ana County, New Mexico.

California Western University was the first university being accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges to offer a doctorate in Clinical Psychology for off-campus study and practicum. From 1970-1976 this program offered students the opportunity to study, work and do a practicum all while living out of California State, and with only infrequent brief visits to the campus, earn a PhD. The school applied for the accreditation process, which was never completed because of mergers with other universities and because of low enrollment caused by a lack of public knowledge of the program. Nonetheless, this program pioneered the fully accredited PhD programs from such schools as Humanistic Psychology Institute (today Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center) and California School of Professional Psychology.

California School of Professional Psychology

California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP), was founded by the California Psychological Association in 1969. At the time of its founding, over 90% of psychologists in the U.S. state of California were trained at institutions outside of the state, and primarily as researchers. The school became the first freestanding school of professional psychology, and remains the largest school of professional psychology in California. Over thirty schools throughout the US now use the school's training model to develop professional psychologists.

Athletics

At one time AIU (USIU) competed at the NCAA Division I level for athletics. The university fielded a men's ice hockey team until 1987 when the program was dropped. However, the program that provided the most exposure for the school was the men's basketball program. Under the leadership of Coach Gary Zarecky, the USIU Gulls instituted a "Run and Gun" style of basketball that allowed the team to score absurd amounts of points, while also giving up large point totals. The team had the NCAA's leading scorer during the 1990-91 season, Kevin Bradshaw, who also holds the record for most points scored in a single game with 72. In January 1989 Loyola-Marymount beat USIU 181-150. The next winter, USIU lost to Oklahoma 173-101 and Arkansas 166-101. Loyola hosted USIU in January 1991 and appeared headed for 200 points, settling for a 186-140 win, the most combined points in Division I history.

The program was disbanded in the middle of the 1991 season while the team was in Ohio for a game. Coach Zarecky was informed by phone that the university was bankrupt and couldn't even afford to fly him back to San Diego. Thus ended USIU's last foray into major collegiate athletics. In 2005, The Department of Athletics announced a planned two year phase out of the intercollegiate sports program at Alliant International University's San Diego campus. The 2005- 2006 academic year will mark the penultimate seasons for the nine intercollegiate teams currently sponsored by Alliant.

Men's and Women's Soccer, Cross Country, Track and Field, Tennis, and Women's Volleyball will conclude operations and competition after the 2006 - 2007 academic year.
