The government deals directly with
the university on budgetary matters and policy matters, however
the Board of Regents has a wide latitude in most operational
areas. It is appointed under the Memorial University Act and is
responsible for the management, administration, and control of the
property, revenue, business and affairs of the university.
- The university has full power and
authority to: establish and maintain such faculties, colleges,
schools, institutions, departments, chairs, and courses as the
Board of Regents may deem necessary; give instruction and
training in all branches of knowledge and learning, including
physical instruction and training; grant degrees (including
honorary degrees), diplomas, and certificates of proficiency; provide facilities for original research in every branch of
knowledge and learning and to conduct and carry on such research;
and, generally, promote and carry on the work of a university
in all its branches.

offered by Memorial University (except music), the first one or
two years of most professional and non-professional university
degree programs, and the entire four years for the Bachelor of
Fine Arts (Visual Arts), Bachelor of Fine Arts (Theatre) degrees,
Bachelor of Arts, and Bachelor of Science.
