Iona University is a diverse community of learners and scholars dedicated to academic excellence in the tradition of the Christian Brothers and American Catholic higher education. We commit ourselves to education within the rich heritage of these legacies, especially intellectual inquiry and the values of justice, peace and service. Iona's beautiful 35-acre campus is located approximately 20 miles north of Manhattan in suburban Westchester County, New York. This ideal proximity to New York City provides Iona students endless career and social opportunities.
