FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedAmberton University does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $76,910, above the $33,352 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Texas.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: most students study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 651 of Amberton University's 897 students (73%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 136 (15%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.
