Amberton is great for adults working full-time and trying to get an undergraduate or graduate degree. I am finishing my MS in Human Relations and Business and I have been challenged , but I have learned so much. Amberton is affordable and I have been able to do everything online. I highly recommend Amberton University! (Food, Clubs, Social?)

Old school expects students to work. Professors are fair to students in grading. I worried about the Christian outlook of the school. It doesn?t play out in the classroom too often. I?ve only had one instructor mention Jesus in a byline in his syllabus. It?s a reputable school in the Dallas area and a good alternative for commuter students.

Great education. No frills university - perfect for working adults. This was a fantastic experience for me. I am doing a Masters Degree in the Counseling department. All of my professors are current practicing counselors/therapists and have incredible insights and experience to share. Smaller classes allow for a lot of professor interaction.

Great school at an affordable price. Very challenging MBA program. Most of the professors are outstanding. I highly recommend it. I have a relative doing undergraduate work at Amberton and is equally pleased.

Sometimes in education, you get what you pay for. Amberton is VERY cheap. You can graduate with a master's pretty easily and with very little effort from your bank account, but that master's is definitely nothing to write home about.

Small University. Very small community. Practically empty all the time. No opportunities for CPT. No jobs for students esp international students. You cone here because you want to finish your masters while working. You like that you come here. You like a social and lively place this is not it. Plus we need a pool table.
