Study Abroad

Welcome to the Study Abroad Program.

Iona College has for many years offered its students and visiting students affordable opportunities to study abroad in order to enhance their understanding of our diverse and changing world. Participants can use these study abroad experiences not only to fulfill graduation requirements but to enhance their career preparation through the invaluable experience of living in another culture.

France

"I loved studying in Paris; it was one of the greatest things I've ever done! I had so much fun and was able to gain greater insight into and appreciation of a culture other than my own. I got to visit places such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, taste the delicious dishes of French cuisine, and live the exciting lifestyle of a Parisian. Paris was a great place to spend the first month of my summer. I would recommend that every student study abroad!"

Ireland

"My experience abroad in Dublin was unequivocally one of the best experiences of my college career. During my time abroad, I was exposed to so many of the wonderful aspects of European, especially Irish culture, and thoroughly enjoyed all of the classes and field trips that we took throughout Ireland. I think that studying abroad during college is so important because it allows students to experience other cultures and lifestyles with a freedom that is simply not possible later on in life."

Italy

"Studying abroad in Italy was hands down the best five weeks of my life. It was amazing to be part of a completely different culture and walk through cities so rich with history. Strolling through the Roman Forum, eating gelato by the Trevi Fountain (eating gelato...every day), staring at Michelangelo's David, laughing with local restaurant owners (who didn't speak a word of English), getting attacked by pigeons in St. Mark's Square, and attempting to hold up The Leaning Tower of Pisa...these are memories I can never forget."
