The board of regents 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 baccalaureate and master's degrees and their equivalents; but no department, school, or degree program shall be instituted except with the prior approval of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
