About Goldey-Beacom College

Welcome to Goldey-Beacom College – where students achieve greater.

Goldey-Beacom College is a private, four-year, not-for-profit college located on a 24-acre campus near Wilmington, Delaware. With approximately 1,800 students enrolled, the College offers 41 degree options in its graduate and undergraduate programs with majors in psychology, economics, criminal justice, English and all areas of business including accounting, business administration, entrepreneurship and finance.

As an NCAA Division II college, GBC is home to 13 sports programs including basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball, and softball. While living on or off campus, students become part of an academic, athletic and social tradition – all in a safe, welcoming suburban setting.

GBC embraces diversity representing 22 states and 60 nations. Characterized by its small size and ethnic diversity, GBC provides a quality, rigorous education to a primarily under-served population of first-generation students as well as those with high financial need. Upon arrival, our students are met by faculty who are caring, dedicated and knowledgeable in their respective fields; who motivate their students to realize their full learning potential; and, above all, who represent teaching excellence.

As a teaching-oriented institution, the College emphasizes instructional excellence in the classroom. Our professors engage students with a caring, wholesome, intellectually stimulating learning environment so they may grow as individuals and become worthy, productive members of society. In fact, 100 percent of full-time faculty have terminal degrees and strong ties to their professions with real-world experience. They walk into classrooms fully equipped to serve students who desperately need individualized attention to thrive socially and academically on a college campus.

At GBC, it’s not just the highly-qualified faculty that stands out – the College is committed to providing accessible, high-quality, career-focused education. As the global economy continues to shift, GBC strives to meet the demands of an ever-changing workforce. The College is committed to connecting its graduates with careers in their respective fields. For over a decade, the College has achieved a 90 percent placement rate for graduates.

Extraordinary efforts = extraordinary results.

Founded in 1886, the College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs, and the International Assembly of Collegiate Business Education.
