About this School
Amberton University is located in Garland, Texas, in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex of the United States of America. The main campus is adjacent to Interstate 635. Amberton is a private Christian university associated with the Churches of Christ. The school began as part of Abilene Christian University as an extension campus from 1971 until 1982, and was initially located in Mesquite, Texas, moving to Garland in 1974. Plans for its separation into an independent institution were initiated when the school received accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1981, and it became known as Amber University in 1982, with the "ton" being added to its name in 2001. A branch campus was opened in Frisco, Texas in 2006. Amberton is aimed at the "non-traditional" or "adult" student and thusly does not sponsor athletic teams nor operate many of the adjunct facilities typical of U.S. higher education such as dormitories; further, it requires all of its students to be at least 21 years old and to be already fluent in the English language prior to enrolling. While the school is explicitly Christian, it promises its students complete freedom of conscience; no particular doctrinal creed or formulation must be professed in order to study there or to graduate.
