Goldey Beacom College

Goldey-Beacom College sits on a 24-acre suburban campus in Pike Creek Valley, located minutes from downtown Wilmington, Delaware and approximately midway between New York City and Washington, D.C. The private institution, founded in 1886 as two separate business schools before merging in 1951, maintains a focus on career-oriented programs in business, economics, psychology, and criminal justice. The campus features modern academic buildings and residential facilities, including apartment-style housing for undergraduate students. Goldey-Beacom operates primarily as a commuter college, serving both traditional undergraduate students and working professionals pursuing graduate degrees, with particular strength in its MBA program and business-focused degrees. The college competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Lightning, participating in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
