With a total enrollment of nearly 4,000 students and an alumni base of over 50,000 around the world, Iona is a diverse community of learners and scholars. Founded in 1940, Iona is a Catholic institution inspired by the legacy of Blessed Edmund Rice and the Congregation of Christian Brothers, embodying opportunity, justice and the liberating power of education.
Building upon that mission, 99 percent of Iona freshmen are awarded merit scholarships and/or financial aid to help cultivate their talents while providing access to an affordable education. Iona students can expect small class sizes, engaged professors and a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs to choose from within the School of Arts & Science, LaPenta School of Business and the newly established NewYork-Presbyterian Iona School of Health Sciences.
Members of the Iona community are known as Gaels, who are people with Irish-Gaelic ancestry. Notable Iona alumni include Alfred F. Kelly Jr., CEO of Visa Inc.; Margaret C. Timoney, CEO of HEINEKEN USA; Thomas J. Baldwin, CEO of Benihana; Gregory C. Cairo, CEO of Le Creuset USA; Robert Greifeld, former CEO of Nasdaq; and musician Don McLean, most famous for his song "American Pie."

Overview
From The School
Location
Iona's unique locations offer the best of both worlds. Iona's beautiful 45-acre campus in New Rochelle, N.Y., is only two miles from the Long Island Sound and 20 miles north of Midtown Manhattan. In addition, Iona's recent campus acquisition in Bronxville, N.Y., just three miles from Iona's New Rochelle campus, paves the way for the establishment of the NewYork-Presbyterian Iona School of Health Sciences as well as additional athletic fields and performance spaces for student activities. Both the New Rochelle and Bronxville campuses provide a comfortable, intimate learning environment.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
In 2020, Iona cut the ribbon on its dramatically renovated and renamed LaPenta School of Business. Designed with an iconic blend of the original, brick fa?ade and a sleek, glass addition, the new LaPenta School of Business doubled the building's academic space to more than 68,000 square feet, including modern classrooms and an expanded LaPenta-Lynch Trading Floor with 27 desktop computers, 16 Bloomberg Terminals and a live, wrap-around stock ticker.
In 2019, the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation opened its brand new, 3,800-square-foot, state-of-the-art coworking and learning space. Founded in 2017, the Hynes Institute ensures that students develop the knowledge, skills and experience needed to create, innovate and lead in a global economy. In addition to hosting an annual business competition and running a business incubator on campus, the Hynes Institute also offers a Makerspace Experience where students can tinker, design, create and build prototypes for new ideas as they strive to solve real-world challenges.
The Hynes Athletics Center was also dramatically upgraded in 2019 to enhance the game experience for both student-athletes and fans. There is seating around all four sides of the court, state-of-the-art LED scoreboards, improved lighting and sound, a new playing surface, and additional support for Iona's ESPN School Productions efforts.
Also new to Iona in Spring 2022 is the Murphy Green, a vibrant green space in the heart of campus where students can enjoy a variety of social, recreational, academic and artistic activities. Complete with benches, trees, stone walkways and a terrace area, the 30,000-square-foot space will also include seating for outdoor performances, poetry readings and outdoor classes.
Off-Campus Opportunities
The City of New Rochelle offers a safe, engaging and welcoming community with plenty to do, including theaters, parks, beaches, dining, nightlife and cultural activities. Students can also enjoy the picturesque Village in Bronxville, where a variety of coffee shops, farmer's markets and much more await. Plus, the Metro-North train is easily accessible to take a short ride to the heart of New York City. With New York City less than half an hour away, students have unlimited options for career development and internship opportunities.
