Wilmington, DE – Goldey-Beacom College has been selected as a 2025 Hidden Gem in a recent announcement by College Raptor, a leading college planning platform that helps families discover college matches driven by AI algorithms to find the best colleges at the best price.
Goldey-Beacom College was selected for:
This selection recognizes GBC as one of the best colleges in the country, based on a combination of factors, including retention rates, graduation rates, student-to-faculty ratio, endowment per student, selectivity and other key metrics as reported via the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) for the most recently available enrollment year.
GBC made the list along with its four closest fellow Hidden Gems: Bryn Mawr College (PA), Washington College (MD), Fairleigh Dickinson (NJ) and Gallaudet (DC) University.
With fewer than 5,000 students per school, each offers five or more unique majors – GBC offering 11 undergraduate majors and seven graduate majors. GBC, as well as the other distinguished institutions, maintains top third rankings within College Raptor’s overall rankings.
“For students seeking the enriching experience of a smaller college with exceptional programs, institutions like GBC emerge as prime options, and we are honored to spotlight them with the recognition they genuinely deserve,” said William Staib, co-founder and CEO, College Raptor.
