Welcome to Iona College, a dynamic college with highly accredited academic programs and a faculty dedicated to student success in the classroom and after graduation. Our tranquil, tree-lined campus right next door to New York City offers students and faculty a learning environment matched by few colleges in the nation.

Iona helps students develop the compass of life—mind, body, spirit—to improve ethical decision making, to become confident decision-makers, to build joyful, impactful lives, and to help move the world.

Our campus is a residential community with modern facilities that bustle with activity. Academic, athletic and extracurricular events are all close by, and provide a welcoming and supportive place to learn and develop friendships that will last a lifetime. You can feel an energetic, positive spirit at Iona, whether walking across campus to a soccer game or in a quiet corner of our English-style, library reading room.

The personal attention and care for students by our faculty separates Iona from many colleges. Through small class settings, members of our faculty help students make career choices and select among high-quality educational programs, including the Hagan School of Business, and the School of Arts and Science with its Mass Communications, Social Work and Education departments, among others.

An invaluable Iona asset is our loyal alumni group in the New York City region and around the country. Many of our students find internships and job training opportunities through our alumni network.

All of this is rooted in religious education and the inspiration of Blessed Edmund Rice, the founder of the Christian Brothers. His original mission lives on in today's Iona students who seek to bring about change in their personal lives and in the world around them.

I invite you to browse our website for more information about our offerings, or come visit today for a firsthand experience of the real Iona.

Best Wishes,

Joseph E. Nyre, Ph.D.
