Iona College, located in suburban New Rochelle approximately 20 miles north of New York City, is a private Catholic institution founded by the Christian Brothers in 1940. The 45-acre campus combines traditional stone buildings with modern academic facilities in a residential setting accessible by public transportation to Manhattan. The college maintains selective undergraduate admission standards and is organized into two main academic units: the School of Arts & Science and the LaPenta School of Business, with particularly strong programs in business administration, mass communication, and education. Iona's NCAA Division I athletic program competes in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, with the men's basketball team regularly participating in the NCAA Tournament. Traditional undergraduate students are required to live on campus for their first two years, with housing available in six residential halls.
