History
The Universities Branch was created in 1996 as part of the newly formed Postsecondary Education Division within the Ministry of Education and Training.
During a divisional reorganization between 2006 and 2008, the Universities Branch was dissolved and split functionally between policy advice (which moved to the Postsecondary Accountability Branch) and financing (which moved to the Postsecondary Finance and Information Management Branch).
