St. Thomas More College is the only Federated College at the University of Saskatchewan. It is legally and financially distinct from the University, but academically integrated with it. It does not offer its own degrees but prepares students for degrees awarded by the University of Saskatchewan. It cooperates with the College of Arts and Science in preparing students for all B.A. and B.Sc. degrees, as well as the B.F.A. and B.Mus. degrees. Students in pre-professional programs (for architecture, dentistry, law, medicine, nutrition and dietetics, pharmacy, optometry, physical therapy, social work, theology, or veterinary medicine) and part-time students may also enroll in St. Thomas More College. Students may enroll even if none of their classes in a given year are taught by the College.
The College was established by the Basilian Fathers in 1936, on the invitation of the President of the University of Saskatchewan and the Catholic Bishop of Saskatoon, following formal approval by the Senate and Board of Governors of the University. The Basilian Fathers, a religious congregation with headquarters in Toronto, Ontario, have pioneered the operation of Catholic colleges associated with non-denominational universities. The College was incorporated by an Act of the Legislature of Saskatchewan in 1943. In 1972 a further Act provided for additional members being admitted to the governing body of the Corporation.
The College teaching staff are members of the faculty of the College of Arts and Science and have representatives on the University Council. Their appointment and promotion requires the approval of the University so that classes taught by St. Thomas More College are equivalent in standards to other University classes.
Students in the College of Arts and Science may enroll through St. Thomas More College. Enrolment in St. Thomas More College does not restrict choice of program or courses. Admission requirements for the College are the same as for the College of Arts and Science. The fees also are the same, and are paid to the University. The College provides opportunities to explore and to live Christian values but imposes no obligation in this area.
The College at present offers classes in these departments of Arts and Science: Archaeology, Economics, English, Languages & Linguistics, History, Philosophy, Political Studies, Psychology, Religious Studies and Anthropology, and Sociology. These have the same number as those offered by the corresponding department of the College of Arts and Science.

Through the scholarly research and community relationships of the Prairie Centre, the Chair is to promote the study of Ukrainian history, culture, and civilization, with the emphasis on the experiences of Ukrainian people in the Canadian Prairies. The Chair is named after the outstanding Ukrainian woman of letters, Lesya Ukrainka (1871-1913), poetess, playwright, literary critic, and essayist. In Fall 1976, a statue of Lesya Ukrainka, created by the famous Ukrainian sculptor Halyna Kalchenko (1926-1975), was unveiled in front of the Arts Building on the University of Saskatchewan campus. The Lesya Ukrainka Chair is a gift of Dr. Victor Buyniak, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Languages and Linguistics.
