Why Choose Amberton University

Why Working Adults Choose Amberton

Amberton isn’t built like a traditional university—and that’s the point. We focus on affordability, flexibility, and real-world relevance so working adults can advance their careers without long-term debt or complicated requirements. Below are the core advantages that set Amberton apart.

Pay-As-You-Go Tuition

Amberton lets you pay per course instead of paying for full semesters upfront — avoiding unnecessary debt and keeping graduate tuition between $9,000–$11,000.

At just $325 per credit hour, you stay in full control of cost and pace. No hidden fees, no mandatory amenities, no loan pressure — just straightforward pricing built for working adults.

Accredited and Respected

Regionally accredited by SACSCOC, the same accrediting body that oversees Texas’ major universities.

Amberton gives students the academic credibility of major institutions without the cost or complexity — making your degree recognized and trusted by employers nationwide.
