Bennington College Announces Partnership with Verto Education
Bennington College has partnered with Verto Education to offer a new Direct Transfer Admissions Pathway. This collaboration allows students to begin their college journey abroad with Verto and transfer seamlessly to Bennington, a leader in self-directed, experiential education.
Verto Education, a leader in global first-year college experiences, is excited to partner with Bennington College, a progressive liberal arts institution known for its self-directed curriculum and emphasis on experiential learning. This collaboration creates a direct transfer admission pathway for Verto students, expanding access to both global education and innovative higher learning.
"Bennington values intellectual curiosity and independence in our students,” said Alyssa Tomkowicz, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Bennington College. “Verto students are taking a leap early on in their college journeys that showcase those qualities."
