Wilmington, DE (04/21/2026) — Wilmington, Del. - Goldey-Beacom College (GBC) announced today that it has earned the 2025-2026 Military Friendly School designation.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,800 schools participated in the 2025-2026 survey with 830 earning special awards for going above the standard.

The 2025-2026 Military Friendly Schools list will be published in the May and October issues of G.I. Jobs magazine and found at www.militaryfriendly.com.

Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution's survey scores with the assessment of the institution's ability to meet thresholds for Student Retention, Graduation, Job Placement, Loan Repayment, Persistence (Degree Advancement or Transfer) and Loan Default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.

"Goldey-Beacom College is deeply committed to supporting the men and women who have served our country," said President Colleen Perry Keith, Ph.D. "Veterans and military-connected students bring leadership, discipline and real-world experience into our classrooms. We are proud to provide an environment where they can build on those strengths, advance their education and successfully transition to the next chapter of their careers."

"Military Friendly is committed to transparency and providing consistent data-driven standards in our designation process. Our standards provide a benchmark that promotes positive outcomes and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the Military Community. This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages Institutions to evolve and invest in their programs consistently. Schools who achieve awards designation show true commitment in their efforts, exceeding the standard." - Kayla Lopez, Vice President, Military Friendly.
