Nanotechnology. Definition:
A program that prepares individuals to apply
mathematical, scientific, and engineering
principles and technical skills to
manipulate matter at the atomic and
molecular level (in the range of 1-100
nanometers) and to design, fabricate, and
integrate nanoscale structures, devices, and systems.
Includes instruction in materials science, thermodynamics,
nanomaterials, Nano electronics, and
nano/micro device fabrication and testing. [https://nces.ed.gov/search/?q=nano+science] |

UNC Board of Governors
January 2007 authorized UNC Charlotte, which
has an Engineering School, to offer a Ph.D.
in Nanoscale Science. Offering Nanoscale
Science was not a Substantial Change as
defined by the SACS for UNC Charlotte. Nov.
2012 UNC Board of Governors authorized a
Master’s in Nanoengineering to Land Grant
Institution NC State, which has an
Engineering. Offering Nanoengineering was
not a Substantial Change as defined by the
SACS for NC State.
Consistent with other
engineering schools in the UNC System
offering Nanoscience and Nanoengineering
(Material Science) programs are
not Substantial Changes as defined by the
SACS and consistent
with the education, curricular, mission and
goals of NC A&T State University. No
liberal arts school offered Nanotechnology
degrees in the UNC System |

degree proposals indicate NC
A&T plan to offer Nanoscience
and Material Science

|
|
| |
|
For Liberal Arts UNC Greensboro with
doctorial programs in music and nursing to
offer Nanoscience degrees requires access
to NC A&T academic programs and research:
“Although the degree is in Nanoscience (does
not include Nanoengineering), |
 |
|
students will be given the
opportunity to take relevant courses at the School
of Engineering at North Carolina A&T
University and must be able to work on
collaborative projects with faculty in the
School of Engineering. |

Unlike land grant cross-town
historical Black NCA&T with strong programs
in engineering offering Nanoscience
constituted a Substantive Change as defined

historical white women UNCG with strong
programs in liberal Arts. (UNCG) Rebecca
Adams to (SACS) Tom Benberg: Sarah Armstrong
Subject: Request for interpretation of
accuracy of nanoscience message, April 13,
2010:
The bottom line, however, is
that we need to submit a full prospectus and
need to do so as soon as possible. This
request will be for approval to initiate a
new off-campus site (South Campus) and to
initiate a new degree program (MS in
Nanoscience) at that site. Contrary to
previous interpretations, both represent
substantive changes.. Due to the
confusion, they are willing to waive the
requirement that we do so 6 months in
advance and will usher it though the
approval process in a timely way so that we
can accept students into UNCG's MS in
Nanoscience program next fall. |

UNC Policy for
Interdisciplinary Degree
|
|
An Interdisciplinary Degree program
involves two or more academic units,
either on the same or
different campuses in a formal
agreement to offer a program of
study drawing on two or more
disciplines that will result in a
student being awarded an
interdisciplinary degree. If more
than one campus is involved in
offering the program it would also
be a joint degree. |
| |
|
Contractual Agreement –
typically is one in which an
institution enters an agreement for
receipt of courses/programs or
portions of courses or programs
(i.e., clinical training
internships, etc.) delivered by
another institution or service
provider. [SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE FOR
SACSCOC ACCREDITED INSTITUTIONS
Policy Statement]. Therefore a Contractor,
institution or service provider enters
into an agreement to provide
courses/programs or portions of

Historical
black North
Carolina
A&T, as one
of the
state's two
land grant
institutions,
has programs
through the
doctoral
level. Its
programs
include
engineering,
arts and
sciences,
agricultural
and
environmental
sciences,
business and
economics,
education,
nursing,
technology,
and
graduates
studies.
“The
expected
roles of a
land-grant
institution,
is teaching
agriculture
and
engineering,
and
providing
cooperative
extension
services” . |

|
For Liberal Arts UNC
Greensboro with doctorial
programs in music and
nursing to offer Nanoscience
degrees requires access to
NC A&T academic programs and
research: “Although the
degree is in Nanoscience
(does not include
Nanoengineering),
students will be given the
opportunity to take relevant
courses at the School
of Engineering at North
Carolina A&T University and
must be able to work on
collaborative projects with
faculty in the School of
Engineering. |

Subject: Request for
interpretation of accuracy
of nanoscience message,
April 13, 2010:
The bottom line, however, is
that we need to submit a
full prospectus and need to
do so as soon as possible.
This request will be for
approval to initiate a new
off-campus site (South
Campus) and to initiate a
new degree program (MS in
Nanoscience) at that site. Contrary
to previous interpretations,
both represent substantive
changes.. Due to the
confusion, they are willing
to waive the requirement
that we do so 6 months in
advance and will usher it
though the approval process
in a timely way so that we
can accept students into
UNCG's MS in Nanoscience
program next fall. |

”The
addition
of a
doctoral
program
is not
an easy
or
simple
extension
of the
master’s
program.
Unlike
most
master’s
programs,
a
doctoral
program
is
research-based.
While
doctoral
program
requirements
routinely
include
additional
course
work,
the
central
program
requirement
is the
dissertation.
The
topic
for the
dissertation
normally
derives
from
discussion
with
faculty
who are
engaged
in
research
and
therefore
knowledgeable
about
the
“frontier
of
knowledge”
in the
discipline. For
a
faculty
member
to then
properly
guide
and
assist
the
student’s
dissertation
research,
that
faculty
member
must be
an
active
researcher. Hence,
the
implementation
of a
doctoral
program
must be
preceded
by the
assembling
of
faculty
who are
conducting
publishable
research
in that
discipline. UNIVERSITY

would create unnecessary
