The school has students from many countries around the world and is considered one of the most diverse schools in the US.

The Bauer College broke ground on June 5, 2008 for the Michael J. Cemo Hall. The hall is named after Michael J. Cemo--a University of Houston alumnus and former president and CEO of AIM Distributors--who donated $3 million to the college. It opened in 2010.
