The board may prescribe courses leading to such customary degrees as are offered at leading American universities and may award those degrees. It is the intent of the legislature that those degrees include bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees and their equivalents, and that there be established a standard four-year undergraduate program; but no department, school, or degree program may be instituted except with the prior approval of the Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System.
