What is the cost of studying for a year at Amberton University?

Amberton University's reported 2024-25 tuition was the same for in-state and out-of-state students: $300 per credit hour for part-time undergraduate and graduate study. The reported full-time tuition and required fees varied by degree level.

  • Undergraduate full-time tuition: $9,000 for the academic year, plus $60 in required fees.
  • Graduate full-time tuition: $7,200 for the academic year, plus $60 in required fees.
  • Part-time undergraduate or graduate tuition: $300 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

These are 2024-25 reported figures, not a quote for a future term. A student's bill depends on current rates, registered credits, and course-specific charges. A full cost-of-attendance budget also includes books, transportation, personal expenses, and housing and food - even when the university does not provide a residence hall or meal plan.

Eligible students may be able to use federal aid, including grants or loans, as well as applicable military education benefits. Aid eligibility and the amount offered depend on the student and program. Reported 2024-25 figures show that 14% of students received student loans; that share does not indicate what an individual applicant will be offered or need to borrow. Applicants should use their own aid offer and expected living costs to estimate what they would pay.

What are the work-study opportunities at Amberton University?

For Amberton University students, combining employment with study may be more central than finding a campus job: the university's programs are oriented toward adults who often work while enrolled. Flexible course scheduling, however, is not the same as a paid work placement.

Federal Work-Study, if included in an eligible student's financial-aid offer, differs from a grant or loan: students earn wages through an approved job, subject to available positions and award limits. Applicants interested in that option should ask Amberton's financial-aid office about participation, eligibility, and how positions are advertised. Ordinary part-time jobs and internships have their own hiring and academic-credit rules and should not be counted as Work-Study funding unless specifically approved.
