Named officially Wilmington Business College in the beginning, Beacom College was something of a branch off from Goldey College by its founder, W. H. Beacom. A former teacher at Wilmington Commercial College, William Henry Beacom was a rising star in business academia at the turn of the century, and the combination of his ambition and the personal differences between he and H. S. Goldey was a catalyst for him to venture out on his own in the year 1900. The two schools would compete for a half-century until eventually merging together in 1951.

The Goldey College Collection contains images and text related to the history and operations of the college. 

Starting in 1951, "Goldey-Beacom College" has been the official name of the institution, ending not only the decades long parade of name changes to challenge Constantinople but also dissolving the rivalry between two schools by way of unity. This collection is the largest in the archives and displays many different of aspects of the college in its entirety across its history.

Goldey-Beacom College has fielded athletic teams in a myriad of sports almost since its inception. Student athletes representing the Goldey-Beacom Lightning, decked out in Navy Blue and Vegas Gold, have proved their mettle in sports ranging from volleyball, golf, tennis, basketball, soccer and even football in the early days of the school. Collegiate competition has and continues to help promote diversity, community and a sense of fulfillment on campus.

At the center of any college is the students. Goldey-Beacom has prepared an abundance of professionals to make a positive impact in the workplace, and the graduates featured in the Distinguished Alumni Gallery really took this mission to heart. They have uplifted the name of Goldey-Beacom College to great heights through their tremendous work ethic, high achievement and exemplary professionalism.
