As President of Amberton University, I promise three things: (1)
Amberton will provide quality education at a reasonable price; (2)
Amberton will provide a relevant technical and cognitive academic
environment for teaching that will increase your real world value;
and, (3) Amberton will maintain an environment of concern and fairness.
Educationally, Amberton University is accredited and nationally
recognized. Tuition is very reasonable because the University is
non-profit and endowment funds of the University are used to keep
costs down (in essence, every student is a scholarship recipient).
All faculty not only have high academic credentials, but all are
experienced and qualified to apply relevant skills and information
to academic training. Philosophically, Amberton University is Christian
based. While no religious dogma is required of students, our conduct
and commitment are Christian.
Amberton will not only become an “agent of change” in
your life, but we will help you become a “change agent” for
others. At Amberton, you will join a society in which all—students,
teachers, and administrators—are learners willing to engage
in responsible experimentation and innovation. Your educational journey
will lead you to the “Realm of the Ring” (an Amberton
graduate).
No, Amberton is not for everyone. It is designed exclusively for
mature, working adults. Our explicit goal is to educate, and we seek
to use our intellectual and financial resources to achieve our educational
objectives. Those who are accepted for enrollment will find Amberton
University small enough to care, old enough to be academically stable,
and financially strong enough to provide quality at a discount.
Welcome to Amberton University,
Douglas W. Warner
President
