Review:

This is a solid well run program.  I went through the MBA program in 9 quarters while I was working.  The  Campus Book store was fantastic and reasonable.  I would suggest checking this school out if your not wanting to spend a absorbent amount on a Masters degree. I had a great time going through the program from 2001-2004. I never had to leave my home.  All research was done though the portal.

Great Experience so far!

Review:

I am an MBA student who just reached the half-way point in my degree plan.  Thanks to Amberton's accelerated course structure I am due to complete my degree within the next 9 months.

Overall, my experience with Amberton had been excellent.  The coursework is challenging, the instructors are fair, highly knowledgeable, very supportive and help bring out the best in you, and any time I have had a question about my degree plan academic advisors have always returned my call or emailed me back very promptly.  For the money, this program provides tremendous value.

Review:

The professors offer challenging assignments that really bring the subjects home and allow for transfer of training to one's professional career.  As others have said, the support staff are very helpful, and the book store's Mr. Black is extremely helpful.  Fees increased this year to $700 per semester ($233.33/sh), but this is still an extremely good value.  My expected graduation this fall is not the end of my education; I'm a lifelong learner.  If they were to offer a PhD in Industrial/ Organizational Psychology, I'd return to them in a heartbeat for my doctorate degree.  This has been a very rewarding experience, and I encourage others to request information and seriously consider continuing their education at Amberton U.

Wonderful Educational Experience

Review:

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!

Great value in real education

Review:

An on-line education at Amberton requires student commitment. Professors will not let you slide by; in-class learning often allows  you to read non-verbal clues as to what the professor considers important enough to put into the final exam. Not so with Amberton on-line learning. 

Still, I have found my Amberton education useful every day in my professional life. The education holds its own against highly-rated bricks-and-mortar institutions.

Amberton has a wonderful and caring faculty. They do challenge
the students to reflect and think. This is great. 

I have almost completed the professional counseling program. It has been a great experience in many ways.

Review:

This was a very rewarding learning experience.  The Professors challenge you in every facet of your degree program.  The support staff are very helpful and friendly and Dwayne Black at the book store is awsome!  I completed my program while residing in Japan, Oklahoma and Germany.  I attended the commencement ceremony (traveled from Germany)and it too was an amazing experience.  In the future, I plan to obtain my PhD and return to Amerton University as a professor!

A VALUABLE RESOURCE

Review:

I found Amberton University when I had to leave the program at a bricks and mortar program in a neighboring city so that I might spend more time with my aging, infirmed mother.  It was truly a God send.  The courses were challenging, but the instructors extremely accessible and fair.  The rotation of courses allowed for a steady progression through the school.  I would and have recommended them to others.  My only hope is that the program will engage additional and more creative uses of technology.  All in all it was a good experience and worth the time, and a value for the money.  With my degree in hand, I have found several doors open that otherwise would not have been.

I would do it again

Review:

Graduated in 2006 with MBA in Strategic Leadership. Nothing but good things to say about the program and instructors. Not easy, lots of work; more than on-gound classes I have attended, but well worth it, and would do it again. In fact, if they every start an online PHd or DBA...I will be back.

Review:

Don't overlook Amberton because it's a private college or think it is easy. The standards and expectations are just a strong as a traditional college.  Without Amberton it would have been very difficult for me to return to school and finish my degree.  I am going to graduate in May of 2008.  I then plan to continue at Amberton for my MBA.  The professors are wonderful and most of them care about their students.  Again this is a tough challenging college and not at all easier than tradition large Universities. I highly recommend Amberton to anyone especially working adults with families!

Give serious consideration to this grad program!

Review:

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!
