Iona College

Overview of Iona College

---

Whenever you have free time, you can leave the campus itself and go into town and learn where your new favorite stores and restaurants are located. As you look around, you’ll find Hudson Park & Beach, Glen Island Park, Thomas Paine Cottage Museum, and other areas where you can have fun. And, if you venture outside Rochester and go into Westchester, the Legoland Discovery Center may be open for you to enjoy.

You’ll be able to live on-campus as the college does provide dorms for students. This will make it easier for you to find your classes at first, and once you know where everything is, you’ll be able to reach each building more quickly. Luckily, because of the small size of the student population, the student-to-faculty ratio is relatively small at 16 to 1.

Academics

Close to the end of your freshman year, you may find yourself asking the question, “Am I going to stay here or transfer to another college?” Along with the rest of your freshman class, every student who decides to stay is measured in the retention rate. At Iona College, this rate is 75% which is somewhat above average. This high of a rate is often pointed to as a way to show that students appreciated the education they received in their first year as a student.

The graduation rate (4-year) is 59%, only slightly below average. Some students may decide to continue going to school for a year or two, either because they attend part-time or need to retake some courses, so they become part of the 6-year graduation rate, which is higher at 64%.

If you have a timing issue with one or more of your classes, you may need to drop one or take that class through other methods. At Iona College, evening classes are not offered but distance learning (online classes) are. So, hold onto that class and just take it online.

The five most popular degree programs they offer include business, management, marketing, and related support services; communication, journalism, and related programs; psychology; health professions, and related programs; and homeland security, law enforcement, firefighting, and related protective services.
