Page "Mount Saint Vincent University" Paragraph 7

A new charter was granted in 1966 and the College became Mount Saint Vincent University, bringing forth the establishment of a Board of Governors and Senate.

This was also a period of tremendous growth – with enrolment increases, new construction and new agreements.

In 1967 the Mount began admitting men as students.

The University continued to evolve with the expansion of programs during the 1970s and entered into several new fields, including Child Study, Public Relations, Gerontology, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Cooperative Education and Distance Education.

In July 1988, the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul officially transferred ownership of the institution to the Board of Governors.
