Amberton University is a private Christian university in Garland, Texas, US. It began as part of Abilene Christian University (ACU) in 1971.

History

[edit]

Initially planted as an ACU brand campus in Mesquite, Texas, Amberton relocated to Garland, Texas, in 1974. After receiving accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1981, Amberton separated from ACU, and in 1982 became Amber University. The current name, Amberton University, was officially adopted in 2001.

Amberton’s first branch campus was opened in Frisco, Texas, in 2006.[2]
