Wilmington, DE – On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Goldey-Beacom College (GBC), President Colleen Perry Keith is proud to announce the College’s first-time ranking by U.S. News & World Report.
After being listed as a “specialty school” for decades by the Carnegie Classification®, this designation precluded GBC from being listed by U.S. News & World Report.
“I am thrilled that Goldey-Beacom College has attained reclassification by the Carnegie Classification® and is now listed as ‘Master’s Colleges & Universities: Larger Programs’,” said Dr. Keith. She continued, “This change qualifies the College to appear in the U.S. News & World Report’s ranking system. Goldey-Beacom is now counted among the Regional Universities North category.”
Dr. Keith said, “As we continue our focus on enrollment, career opportunities and an expanded list of degree options for our diverse population, thousands of students and parents will find Goldey-Beacom in online searches as they explore the possibilities of higher education.”
