St. Mary’s College of Maryland has partnered with Verto Education, to offer a study-abroad program that combines the classroom experience with expeditions, hands-on projects, and service-learning for first-year students.

Prospective first-year students to St. Mary’s College who participate in this “gap year without the gap” would begin their studies overseas, earn academic credits, and graduate on time without having to complete another admission process.
