The College of Idaho is Part of Verto’s Direct Transfer Program
Through Verto’s Direct Transfer Program, you can gain admission to The College of Idaho based on your academic performance with the courses delivered by the Academic Provider during your Verto study abroad experience. While admission will depend on The College of Idaho’s availability and is ultimately up to their discretion, this route tends to give Verto participants who meet the college’s academic criteria a higher chance of admission and a fast-tracked application.
We are excited to partner with Verto Education in providing an alternative pathway for students to enroll at The College of Idaho. The preparation and experiences prospective students receive through this program will set Verto students up for success once they matriculate at the college. We look forward to working with Verto Education and their students in the years to come.
