Verto participants 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 Vertoans.
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.
Inside the classroom, our Academic Provider, the University of New Haven, delivers a rigorous curriculum. Outside the classroom, you’ll be in an unfamiliar situation. 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 young adults 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.
Our number one priority is participant safety while overseas. We cannot do this without your cooperation. Reckless behavior is simply too dangerous in foreign countries. Our experiences are for responsible global citizens.
Verto offers rolling decisions, and our locations fill up on a first-come-first-serve basis. We expect to reach capacity months ahead of the experience start dates. Apply today to secure your spot!
