Iona colledge History You already have a life. Now you can get the tools to make it better. Iona College takes its name from the island of Iona just off the west coast of Scotland. On this tiny island an Irish monk, Columba, established an abbey from which missionaries went forth to teach. It was in the spirit of this heritage that the religious order of educators, the Congregation of Christian Brothers, founded Iona College in New Rochelle, New York in 1940. In 1962, Iona began its graduate program, offering its first advanced degree (Pastoral Counseling). Today, the School of Arts and Science offers 16 master's and certificate programs to over 800 students. Iona College offers many important aspects of a graduate education that other schools do not. From our commitment to a technology-based education and academic programs that offers the most viable and flexible career options, Iona meets the needs of adult students. Classes meet once per week and are conveniently scheduled during late afternoon and evening hours. Some of our graduate programs also offer classes on the weekends and through distance learning. A dynamic and dedicated faculty, all accomplished experts in their field, ensure that you will never be just another face in the crowd. Classes are kept intentionally small, usually fewer than 20 students, allowing for lively discussion and interaction both in and outside of the classroom. Welcome to the website of Iona's School of Arts and Science. Through its 22 academic departments, the School offers BA, BS, MA, and MS degrees in over 30 areas of study as well as several non-degree certificate programs. Through our major programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, we offer courses of study in the traditional liberal arts disciplines and in selected pre-professional and professional programs designed to provide academic challenge, intellectual depth, which are rooted in liberal learning. The Arts & Science programs serve both traditional-age and returning-adult students. They provide a challenging education which involves an appropriate mix of classroom instruction, independent research, and internship or practical experience. An Iona education equips students with the skills necessary for success in a rapidly changing environment: critical thinking, effective oral and written communication, problem solving, ethical decision making, computer competency, and scientific and technological literacy. Our foundation in the liberal arts enables students to develop the habits of mind associated with our most precious human heritage: those ideas, beliefs, and writings that are the basis of intellectual, cultural, and moral development. We have an exceptional faculty of teacher-scholars who have both the academic credentials and practical experience necessary to deliver an outstanding education. Our facilities are well-designed and equipped to meet contemporary technological demands. We continue to develop new programs that enrich the academic experience at Iona and prepare students to meet the challenges of a complex world. Thank you for visiting our site. I hope you’ll consider Iona as your college of choice.
