History

The school was founded in downtown El Paso in 1898 by Joseph Peter Mullin (whose son was Shimer College president Francis Joseph Mullin). Shortly after Mullin's death in 1921, it was sold to J.E. Gilkey in 1922. The school received its first accreditation two years later, from the National Association of Commercial Schools.

In the 1980s, the school opened numerous branch campuses, as far away as Lubbock, Texas. By 1993, these had all been sold, as part of a decision to focus on El Paso, where the school continues to operate two locations. In 2003, the school was accredited to offer its first degree program, the Associate of Applied Science in Business Management. In 2012, it was sold to Innovative Education Solutions.
