A law passed by the National Assembly in 1904 officially instituted the Higher School as a university, expanding its program to four years.
Historian Marin Pundeff noted that by the mid-1890s, the Higher School had all the functions and earmarks of a university. Founder Ivan Shishmanov, who became Minister of Education in 1903, passed the law in 1904 that formalized the university status.
