More than expected

The Study Abroad trips offer more than the classes and country you sign up for, students are given the opportunity to travel to surrounding countries.  

Students have already taken advantage of these opportunities.  Some of the students from the Rome trip have gone to Switzerland, Venice, and are planning to go to Paris to meet up with the Paris-students.  Students from the Barcelona Trip were given a tour of the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica by their peers who are studying in Rome.

Nothing like a network of peers to show you the way!

French lunch with an Alum!

 Some of the ladies studying in France met up with recent grad, John Petrullo '12, to have a beautiful Parisian lunch in the shadow of the Eifel Tower.  John, like many college grads, is traveling around Europe for a month. The world is much smaller than they thought -- Gaels are everywhere!

A Global Summer for Iona

The College sponsors ongoing study abroad programs.  The summer programs in Italy, France, Greece, Oxford, London and Spain offer students courses that can be used to fulfill degree requirements both in general education and in various academic disciplines. Iona students can use these study abroad experiences not only to fulfill graduation requirements but to enhance their career preparation through the invaluable experience of living in another culture.
