The California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) was founded in 1969[1] by the California Psychological Association. It is part of the for-profit[2] Alliant International University where each campus's Clinical Psychology Psy.D. and Ph.D. program is individually accredited by the American Psychological Association.[3] The school has trained approximately half of the licensed psychologists in California.[citation needed]

The school has degree programs in clinical psychology, marriage and family therapy, clinical counseling, Organizational Psychology, and psychopharmacology at campuses in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, Sacramento, and Irvine, and abroad in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Mexico City.[4] CSPP is one of a handful of APA- accredited schools that also offered a clinical doctoral respecialization in professional psychology.[5]
