of Abilene Christian University and was located in Mesquite Texas From the beginning the Universitys purpose was to identify and provide for the educational needs of the community Quickly the University turned its attention and interest to educational programs that catered to working adults In June of 1974 the campus location was moved to Garland Texas The new campus a two-story professional office building was designed to cater to mature adults who did not need or desire the environmental trappings associated with traditional colleges dormitories cafeterias gymnasiums intramural athletics etc In 1981 the University received accreditation from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and plans were approved for separating the institution from Abilene Christian University The separation was completed in June 1982 and the University took the name Amber University In March 2001 the University changed its name from Amber University to Amberton University to more accurately describe its purpose The English addition of “ton” to a word means a town or village As a result of offering adult students traditional lecture and nontraditional e-courses the name more accurately identifies the community of learners Amberton Universitys Garland Campus is located on a five-acre site The facility is a 60000 square foot office complex designed to provide a secure professional environment conducive to adult learning In January 2006 Amberton opened a new center in Frisco in order to better serve their students in Collin County Amberton University is designed exclusively for the mature working adult who seeks to benefit from the richness of a relevant educational experience The adult who attends Amberton University will find the atmosphere similar to that of professional schools—law medicine engineering At Amberton University the student is exposed to a diverse group of working adults who share interests and ideas Amberton Universitys desire is to equip its students with the practical knowledge tools and character necessary to cope effectively in the situations and challenges that lie ahead In short

offers classes and programs through the classroom lecture method as well as through distance learning technologies Amberton University controls enrollment by restricting the number of classes offered in a program and the number of students allowed to enroll in each class As a matter of educational practice Amberton University does not do for the student what one would reasonably assume a mature adult collegian student can do for himherself For all applicants who are qualified for admission and all students who seek enrollment Amberton University allows without partiality participation on a first-come first-served basis THE CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT OF AMBERTON UNIVERSITY Amberton University is a nondenominational Christian institution all employees of the University believe that Jesus of the

MORE RELEVANT STUDENT-ORIENTED CATALOG The Administration and Faculty of Amberton University are proud to present the v 35 Edition of the Amberton University Catalog This revised edition again incorporates expanded course descriptions that include the major “competencies” that are taught in each course The reporting of competencies is a revolutionary idea in that it provides students with a clearer understanding of each course and the knowledge to be gained At Amberton University a student knows prior to taking a course some of the major competencies over which heshe will be tested and expected to master By successfully completing a course students can use these competencies as a part of their resumes in reporting knowledge attained through their educational experiences More importantly after the competencies for each course are developed each degree offered by Amberton University is re-evaluated to assure a maximum exposure to knowledge with minimal duplication In essence not only does the University revise each of its courses every two years but also each degree offered to assure the students of academic relevance and quality that we believe leads to a superior education UNIVERSITY PUBLICATIONS The University provides various publications designed to inform students potential students and interested friends of university information Amberton University will maintain a current general information catalog that describes the academic programs regulations courses standards financial expectations etc for students potential students and the general public In addition to the catalog the University will publish a supplement Schedule of Classes each session that includes academic and financial information relative to the session Information is also disseminated through bulletin boards distribution boxes and the University’s web site wwwambertonedu Additional brochures supplements newsletters etc will be developed as merited to properly externalize the programs of Amberton University The University has concluded that no publications surveys opinion polls etc may be distributed at the University without prior approval from the Administration AMBERTON UNIVERSITY’S UNIQUE LEARNING OPTIONS Amberton University caters exclusively to the working adult and recognizes the many and varied obstacles that must be managed in order to pursue advanced educational training From over thirty years of catering exclusively to adults the University has learned * Adult students should not be placed in “locked” groups or programs that do not allow the drop-indrop-out needs of working adults * Class options are required that allow the working adult to respond to the unique time constraints placed upon himher because of family personal and business demands * Admission registration and all student services must honor the time constraints of working adults and must be packaged in a “no-nonsense” academic atmosphere * Adult working students are commuter students the University must provide ample close-in secured parking current research resources comfortable facilities and relevant academic offerings * Most working adults are not eligible for Federal Financial Aid Programs For this reason Amberton University encourages students to enroll in one course per session and “pay as they go” The unique learning options of Amberton University include the following * Ten-week sessions offered four times annually allowing greater options for drop-indrop-out adult needs * A continuous rotation of courses as either lecture classes or distance learning classes to allow students to mix learning options as needed * Course and program offerings are provided 1 in the evening during the week 2 on weekends during the day andor 3 through distance learning in a “mix-as needed” option for students * Costs for classes are the lowest of any private university in the region LEGAL NOTICE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION Amberton University operates in accordance with Christian principles and considers it unethical as well as illegal to discriminate on the basis of race color religion* age sex nondisqualifying handicap or national or ethnic origin in admissions employment opportunities educational programs or activities which it operates Inquiries regarding the Universitys equal opportunity policy and non-discrimination may be

religion concerning admission the University does discriminate on the basis of religion concerning employment Because the University is committed to Christian ethics a Christian belief is required of employees THE ETHICAL STANDARDS OF AMBERTON UNIVERSITY The basis for the ethical standards of Amberton University is couched in the Christian principles presented in the New Testament of the Bible The University’s Catalog and the Policies and Regulations Manual govern the procedures and rules to be honored by both the University and its constituents If or when there is a discrepancy in policies of the University the solution will be to the advantage of the constituent not the University
