| School mission: | Amridge University is primarily a distance learning institution, although there are many courses offered on campus. Amridge University programs have a traditional structure. Distance education is approved by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the U.S. Department of Education, ensuring that distance education students receive the same high-quality education as on-campus students. Faculty and student services for students on campus are available to distance learners. Amridge University ensures that students have regular contact with faculty and staff members via e-mail and telephone. No residency is required for undergraduates. In addition to offering distance learning to a diverse array of individuals, Amridge University is participating member of the GoArmyEd project. This is an online, streamlined process, giving soldiers easy access to obtaining funding for their educations. Founded in 1967, Amridge University is an independent, coeducational institution dedicated to the spirit of its ideals and Christian heritage. All Amridge University programs are taught from a Christian perspective. Amridge University is one of the nation's leading universities offering distance learning programs and services to adults nationally. Adding to the prestige of the University is its selection as one of fifteen initial participants in the Distance Education Demonstration Program Institution by the U.S. Department of Education. Amridge University worked with the U.S. Department of Education to develop a national model to help chart the future of distance learning. Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Amridge University grants associates, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, all available via a distance learning format. Graduate degrees are awarded in counseling/family therapy, organizational leadership, and religious studies. These degrees foster leadership, counseling and family therapy skills, knowledge, and biblical and Christian ministry skills. The counseling degrees are designed to help prepare students for licensure. Doctoral degrees include Doctor of Ministry and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. These are advanced professional degrees for community organization and church-related vocations, with a concentration designed to prepare participants to counsel families and individuals. Undergraduate degrees are awarded in Biblical studies, business, human development, human resource management, liberal studies, management communication, homeland security, and public safety and criminal justice. These degrees promote biblical and Christian ministry skills, human development skills, knowledge in the arts, and management communication skills. |
