FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

Alliant International University-San Diego does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $87,927, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally. The Department uses the national figure for a college that mostly enrolls out-of-state students or operates in several states.

This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics

Studying online: most students study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 2,735 of Alliant International University-San Diego's 4,147 students (66%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 691 (17%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

What is the tuition at Alliant International University-San Diego?

How many students attend Alliant International University-San Diego?
Alliant International University-San Diego reports total enrollment of approximately 4,530 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
What is the graduation rate at Alliant International University-San Diego?
Alliant International University-San Diego reports a graduation rate of approximately 22%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of Alliant International University-San Diego have?
Students who borrowed at Alliant International University-San Diego left with a median of approximately $12,878 in federal loans, and about 15% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of Alliant International University-San Diego earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $66,666 for students who received federal financial aid at Alliant International University-San Diego. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about Alliant International University-San Diego?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review.

One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $59,992; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth.

One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $53,383; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $107,070 in federal loans at this college (about $1,218 a month on a 10-year plan).
Which programs at Alliant International University-San Diego have the highest graduate earnings?
Among the 9 programs at Alliant International University-San Diego with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Human Resources, doctoral ($119,182); Clinical and Counseling Psychology, doctoral ($105,796); and Clinical and Counseling Psychology, master's ($86,459) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
Does Alliant International University-San Diego get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Alliant International University-San Diego's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $87,927, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
