With this partnership, both Verto Education and César Ritz Colleges reaffirm their commitment to providing students with unparalleled educational experiences, fostering global perspectives, and ensuring academic success. Students in the program will first participate in Verto’s globally immersive academic experience abroad, earning transferable college credit while developing international perspective.

“Expanding our Direct Transfer network with César Ritz Colleges creates exciting new opportunities for students interested in globally focused careers,” said Michael Kabbaz, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President for University Partnerships at Verto Education. “This partnership allows students to begin their academic journey abroad with Verto and continue their studies at an institution renowned for preparing the next generation of executive leaders in hospitality business and beyond.”

“While some students know early on that their interests align with careers in hospitality, luxury, entrepreneurship or finance, others discover those passions through experience,” said Jenn Lutz, Regional Manager for North America at César Ritz Colleges Switzerland. “Verto’s model provides students with a supportive pathway to explore their interests through academic coursework and international experience, making them a natural partner for us.
