About
The story of Goldey-Beacom College, located in Wilmington, Delaware, begins in 1886 when H.S. Goldey opened the Wilmington Commercial College. W.H. Beacom, one of the school's top instructors, left in 1900 to form his own institution just a few blocks away from his previous employer. Over the next fifty years the schools participated in a fierce rivalry which ended in 1951 when the two schools merged. 1974 saw the relocation of the school from downtown Wilmington to suburban Pike Creek.
Academics
