Ready to see the world and launch your college career with Verto? Here’s everything you need to know about our unique application process. If you still have questions, you can schedule a call with an admissions counselor.
Verto students expect more from their education and from themselves. They want knowledge you can’t find on the internet, experiences that expand their horizons, tangible skills for life, and relationships that last a lifetime. Here are some of the characteristics we look for in prospective Verto students.
You seek to understand rather than judge. You begin relationships by asking questions, and you seek out new points of view. You are eager to learn about yourself, explore new passions, and clarify the path you want to take in life.
If you want a standard college experience, Verto is not for you, and that’s okay. If you’re ready to get out of your comfort zone and have some amazing new experiences, then we’ve got a whole world to explore together.
Verto programs are challenging inside and outside the classroom. You’ll be in an unfamiliar situation, and there are no blow-off classes at Verto. We’ve got your back every step of the way, but you have to put in the work to get the most out of this opportunity.
We want students who look out for others, care about their communities, and treat everyone with respect. We’re all in this world together, and a little kindness can make all the difference. (Also, traveling with jerks is the worst.)
Our number one priority is keeping students safe while overseas. We cannot do this without your cooperation. Reckless behavior is simply too dangerous in foreign countries. Our programs are for responsible global citizens.
