About This School
Iona University is a private nonprofit institution located in New Rochelle, New York with approximately 2,951 undergraduate students enrolled. Iona University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 87%. The average net price after financial aid is $29,188 per year. The graduation rate is 56%, and the typical graduate earns $60,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
Iona University is a private Catholic university with a main campus in New Rochelle, New York, United States. It was founded in 1940 by the Congregation of Christian Brothers and occupies a campus of 45 acres (0.18 km2) in New Rochelle and a campus of 28 acres (0.11 km2) in Bronxville, New York.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: median earnings of $60,900 after 10 years are solid for a smaller Catholic school just outside New York City, and the relatively low median debt of $19,500 is a genuine plus. The concern is the 57% graduation rate — meaning roughly 4 in 10 students who start here don't finish — which is worth taking seriously before committing. Worth considering if you value a tight-knit campus with strong NYC access and have a clear plan for staying on track academically.
