Iona College is a diverse community of learners and scholars dedicated to academic excellence in the tradition of the Christian Brothers and American Catholic Higher Education. The College is currently listed in US News and World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges 2010,” The Princeton Review’s Best Northeastern Colleges 2008 and Best 301 Business Schools 2010 editions, as well as BusinessWeek’s “Best 140 National Undergraduate Business Schools 2008."

Founded by the Christian Brothers in 1940, Iona is one of the only colleges in the region to hold several prestigious national accreditations in business (AACSB), social work (CSWE), teacher education (NCATE), computer science (ABET) and journalism and mass communication (ACEJMC). Iona’s marriage and family therapy program is a candidate for COAMFTE accreditation.

A medium-sized college with a student-teacher ratio of 13:1, Iona has approximately 3,800 undergraduate students and 4,300 total students. There are five residence halls on the College’s picturesque 35-acre campus in New Rochelle, NY; an additional non-residential campus houses the Rockland Graduate Center in Pearl River, NY, which offers master’s degrees to students in Rockland and neighboring Westchester, Bergen and Orange counties.

Students are encouraged to integrate the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical dimensions of their lives, immersed in a community where ethical decisions and service to others are primary considerations.
