In conjunction with the University of New Haven, Verto’s first year study abroad programs have provided a transformative start to college for over 3,000 students across 5 international locations. With diverse courses and program offerings, we have pathways that will bring your academic and personal goals to life.

Here’s How It Works:

Start College Abroad

with 1, 2, or 3 semesters in Argentina, Czech Republic, England, Italy, or Spain.

Earn 12-17 Credits

per semester with inspiring courses delivered by our Academic Provider, the University of New Haven.

Continue Your Degree

at one of our 60+ U.S. partner colleges, many of which offer guaranteed admission to Verto participants.

Pathways to a Verto Partner College:

Direct Transfer Partners offer a path for Verto participants to earn guaranteed admission through academic success.

Channel Partners may offer invitation-only Verto pathways to select first-year applicants to gain international experience before continuing at their main campus.

Looking back on the person I was before leaving on my first semester with Verto, I am so completely amazed at how I’ve changed into the person I am now. I’ve become more patient, a better problem solver, more outgoing, and more. I love the person I have become.

Unlock Your Potential

Get out of your comfort zone, discover new passions, and build the confidence that you are ready for anything.

Freshman year is a great time to step away from what you know in order to think about who you really want to be.

You’ll travel with a tight community of Verto participants who become your friends forever.

Financial literacy, career planning, mindfulness, and global citizenship are just some of Verto’s additional key takeaways.

You’ll have regular check-ins with a staff mentor to discuss your progress and overall experience.
