Study Abroad Programs

The College sponsors ongoing study abroad programs, regularly supplemented by programs offered by various members of the faculty or academic departments. The spring semester program in Ireland, the fall and spring semester programs in Australia, and the summer programs in Italy, France, and Spain offer students courses that can be used to fulfill degree requirements both in general education and in various academic disciplines. There is also a junior year abroad program of study in England at Oxford University that is available to a select number of juniors. Iona students 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 for a certain period.

Iona also encourages students to take advantage of the many programs available in virtually every country around the globe. Working with the director of Study Abroad, students can plan individual programs of study for an academic year or a semester in such places as England, Europe, South America, China, and other sites abroad. Most study abroad courses are readily transferred to Iona.
