Goldey-Beacom College has received reaffirmation of accreditation for our business programs from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

This recognition reflects the strong work happening across our campus every day: faculty helping students connect what they learn in class to what comes next, staff supporting students from admission through graduation, and our full GBC community working together to help students succeed.

Dr. Scott Glenn, Assistant Professor of Business, recently represented GBC at the annual ACBSP conference in Phoenix, Arizona, where he received the official reaffirmation and accompanied students participating in the ACBSP Student Pitch Competition.

We’re grateful for the continued dedication of our business faculty and the many people across campus who help make this work possible. 💙⚡
