My experience at Amberton was wonderful. I completed my degree online and though it was tough I would do it all over again. The instructors are great and really challenge you. Don't think that you can do an online program and have it easy, there is a ton of reading and writing that you will have to do.

If you don't have the time nor patience to sit in a traditional class, this is an awesome program.

Last year I earned my MBA in Strategic Leadership at Amberton. I only have great things to say about the program. It was extremely challanging and rewarding. The professors were outstanding, and provided great feedback. I would choose Amberton again; and suggest anyone looking for a online fully accredited degree that is both challanging and rewarding give this university a look. If they ever offer a Ph.D or D.B.A. online, I will be back in class. Word of advise, if you think this univerity is going to be a pathway to an easy degree, do yourself a favor and apply elsewhere, I found it more challenging than the on-gound classrooms...but like I said, I would do in over again in a second...

Amberton University is a wonderful institution offering rigorous curriculum, and phenomenal faculty and staff. I recently completed my Masters in Human Relations and Business in May 2007 and found my program both gratifying and rewarding. Every step of the way I received great support and guidance from my professors and was challenged by interesting, relevant courses. As previous reviewers have noted, Amberton’s availability online complements its on ground courses and in no way detracts from the quality or robustness of its programs; it simply offers greater accessibility and convenience to the working adults it serves. With undergraduate and graduate tuition at $225.00 per credit hour, it also makes good financial sense to consider Amberton for graduate level study. I also hope doctoral level programs will be introduced at Amberton one day – if so, I will be the first to enroll!

I just obtained my Master of Science degree in Human Relations and Business from Amberton University. It was a dream come true. The professors were great. They have the true concept of working adults and professionals at heart. Thank you so much Amberton for being an outstanding University. You have been much more than a blessing, they were even affordable.

I recently completed a Master in Human Relations and Business and was very satisfied with the university. I got timely, meaningful and extensive feedback and the format of the program was perfectly suited to my needs as a working professional. I can highly recommend Amberton. They provide a quality education for a very reasonable fee.

I have to say that I am very happy I’ve made the decision to take an MBA in Strategic Leadership at Amberton. My experience at AU is wonderful, the professors are great and the advisors are amazing. Each time I talked to one of them, I learned something new about how students should be treated. I am glad I graduated from this school.
Even though I don’t have now any plans to pursue a PHD degree, but if they ever offer it online, I won’t think twice about taking it.
Thank you AU…

This is a really great school and the first best choice outside of the more expensive universities here in Texas. Very challenging materials with cutting-edge info. I'm still several hours away from a Bachelor's in Business Administration & Information Systems, but well on my way. The instructors I've had are excellent. I visited the campus and it's very serious about it's students and the students take the university very seriously. You won't regret being apart of Amberton. The Tuition is very affordable and on point for working adults.

I just completed a Master of Arts in Professional Development at Amberton University. My experience was very rewarding. If you receive a degree from Amberton University, you are going to have to work for it. The course work was rigorous; however, the professors that I studied under were very helpful. This is a no nonsense school. The people who attend Amberton are very serious about their education. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is seeking to further their education.

Hi Monique,

I am not sure whether someone has answered your question or whether you found the answer, but both online and campus classes are 8 or 10 weeks I believe depending on which semester. I must say so far so good with this university. I have not been disappointed yet and I am very happy with my decision to attend this university for my Master's. The work is challenging and the value of the courses are very worth it. Hope my response helps you with your decision.

I am 4 courses away from a Master of Science in Human Relations and Business at Amberton University. The level of 'challenge' depends on the instructor you take and/or a combination of what YOU put into the courses. I graduated from Plano Independent School District in 2000 and I have found that the most challenging coursework wasn't when I earned my Associates or my Bachelors or even now with this Master's program.

There are few higher education institutions that exist that can provide a GOOD return on the monies invested with minimal risk. The cost of this institution is a fraction of what others are throughout the nation. I have only come upon a few others that offer prices around Amberton with different focuses; however those institutions only rise to the Master's level as well. It definitely appears that if I am to invest into a Phd program - there will need to be a risk in the financial area for a great return.

I attended large traditional colleges in the past but I learned more at Amberton than the other colleges. The professors at Amberton are unique as they all have their own expectations of their students which are extremely high! Amberton is no easy college, in fact I found it much harder than traditional college. This institution provides a very useful educational experience that students can be proud of!! One of the most relevant comments I can provide to new students is to never procrastinate while attending Amberton's distance education courses. Follow the curriculum and schedule provided by the professor and make sure all assignments are submitted on time. Even with family medical issues I endured I was never late with any assignment during my time at Amberton. This is because the syllibus provided by each professor is clear with a recommended schedule and instructions on what is expected. They are also very consistent on processes and for email submital. So when attending each new class the procedures are transparent to the student! Also, if you have questions don't be afraid to ask. They are more than willing to help but some of them may be vague as they want you to work for the answer using research instead of taking the easy way out. I enjoyed Amberton so much that I completed a BBA and an MBA in three years taking two classes each quarter. I agree with the other comments that if Amberton some day offers a PhD program I would definitely consider and most likely attend! I recommend this college to anyone and have expressed this to others wanting to return to college who asked me about my experience!! With a family including small children Amberton was my answer to returning to complete my education and I thank them for what they provide students!
