About

Goldey–Beacom College is a private university in Pike Creek Valley, Delaware, United States. Its setting is suburban with a campus of 24 acres (9.7 ha). It uses a semester-based academic calendar and is accredited to award certificates, associate, baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees. The institution traces its origins to 1886 when H. S.
