We’ve cut tuition in half!
We are taking the next step in our commitment to affordability, and after seven consecutive years of discounting our undergraduate tuition by half or more for every accepted student, we are making that low net cost permanent! Beginning in the fall semester of 2021, Goldey-Beacom undergraduate tuition is now cut in half to $425 per credit hour, or $13,050 for an annual full-time load of 30 credit hours. Our generous merit scholarship offerings will remain available to qualified students to reduce this cost even further, and federal and state financial aid in the form of grants and loans can complete the student aid package for eligible students. At $13,050 per year, you will be hard-pressed to find a more affordable option among four-year colleges in the region!
“Goldey-Beacom is nice because of its smaller size. Since it is a smaller community, it was very easy to make friends. The dorms are nice too—it isn’t your traditional small dorm, it is more like an apartment and has a full kitchen.”
“I love Goldey-Beacom because of the supportive and encouraging environment. Even with traveling across the country for college, it didn’t take long for it to feel like home, like having a huge family right here in Delaware.”
“My favorite aspect about GBC is how I feel as a student-athlete. Juggling basketball and academics can be a lot, but GBC’s supportive community makes it easy. I feel capable of achieving both my academic and athletic goals [at a Division II level] here.”
“I love GBC because it offers a great education at an affordable price. They awarded me great scholarships and provided opportunities I could not have found elsewhere. I wanted a school with a convenient, safe environment, and Goldey-Beacom College provided that for me.”
“I love GBC because of the endless opportunities that have been available to me. The College has helped find internships and job opportunities that will allow me to achieve my goals now and after graduating. At Goldey-Beacom College, I never feel lost in the crowd.”
