Verto Education Expands Transfer Opportunities with Loyola Marymount University
Verto Education has expanded its partnership with Loyola Marymount University to include a Direct Transfer Admissions Pathway, allowing eligible students to begin college abroad and earn guaranteed transfer admission to LMU. This builds on an existing invite-only channel partnership and broadens access to a globally focused, flexible start to college.
Los Angeles, CA, April 02, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Verto Education, an innovative organization in global education, is excited to announce the expansion of its partnership with Loyola Marymount University to include a Direct Transfer Admissions Pathway for Verto participants. This builds on LMU’s existing invite-only channel partnership with Verto, which offers select students a structured pathway into the university through a Verto cohort.
With the launch of the Direct Transfer Admissions Pathway, all eligible Verto participants now have the opportunity to transfer to LMU—broadening access and reinforcing a shared commitment to inclusive, globally minded education. Students who begin their college journey abroad with Verto can earn guaranteed transfer admission to LMU through this expanded partnership.
“Loyola Marymount University has long shared our belief in the value of globally engaged learning,” said Michael Kabbaz, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President for University Partnerships at Verto Education. “This expanded partnership allows us to welcome more students into that vision by providing a clear, supportive pathway from their time abroad with Verto to continued success at LMU.”
“Verto Education offers fully transferable, globally focused semesters designed to support a meaningful and successful first year of college,” said Thomas Gutto, Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Enrollment at Loyola Marymount University. “This partnership is a natural extension of LMU’s long-standing commitment to preparing students for success in an increasingly global marketplace.”
The Direct Transfer Admissions Pathway is a cornerstone of Verto Education’s mission to reimagine the college experience. It allows students to begin college abroad while securing guaranteed transfer admission to one of more than 40 partner colleges and universities. All courses, credits, and transcripts are delivered by Verto’s accredited Academic Provider, the University of New Haven.
With this expanded partnership, Verto Education and LMU continue to demonstrate a shared dedication to providing flexible, high-impact educational opportunities that empower students to thrive academically while gaining a global perspective.
