Amberton University

Amberton University, located in Garland, Texas, a northeastern suburb of Dallas, operates as a private, non-profit institution specializing in programs for working adults. The university maintains a suburban campus in Garland and a satellite location in Frisco, focusing exclusively on undergraduate degree completion and graduate programs. Established in 1971 as an extension of Abilene Christian University and becoming independent in 1982, Amberton structures its academic calendar into short sessions designed to accommodate working professionals. The university offers programs primarily in business administration, counseling, and management, with all courses available in both classroom and online formats. Unlike traditional universities, Amberton does not provide student housing, athletics, or typical campus life amenities, as it caters specifically to part-time, adult learners.
