ENGL 1112 - Seminar in Academic Inquiry and WritingVerto is on a mission to provide the best possible start to college. We start by making travel and experiential education a core part of every student’s first year. Our participants begin college overseas in one of five Verto locations and take fully accredited in-person classes from our Academic Provider, the University of New Haven. After completing 1-3 semesters with Verto, participants seamlessly transfer to one of 50+ partner universities in the United States. Along the way, participants develop their academic skills and identity and become more mature, empathetic general citizens who have a greater sense of purpose and direction for their lives.At Verto, we’re creating a different model. We’re driving the costs down and acceptance rates up. We connect participants to the world and give them a chance to discover who they are before making them choose a major. We’re out to build a transformational company that makes higher education more accessible and impactful. We are backed byFirst Round Capital and other top VCs.LOCATION SUMMARYBuenos Aires, ArgentinaStudy Abroad in Buenos Aires, ArgentinaDeeply engaged learning is a key element of teaching.
