UNC Board of Governors January 2007
authorized UNC Charlotte, which has an
Engineering School, to offer a Ph.D. in

Science was not a Substantial Change
as defined by the SACS for UNC
Charlotte. Nov. 2012 UNC Board of

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.

For Liberal Arts UNC Greensboro with

requires access to NC A&T academic

the degree is in Nanoscience (does not
include Nanoengineering), |

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

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

institution or service provider enters
into an agreement to provide

Worthington (UNC-GA) Vice President
for Communications UNC General

public record request for a UNCG
Chancellor signed request to plan
and establish a PhD in Nanoscience
said: “Dr. Alan Mabe in his capacity
as Senior Vice President for
Academic Affairs determined:
· UNCG
was not required to submit a new
request to plan a Ph.D. in
Nanoscience. The joint proposal
submitted by UNCG and NCA&T was
deemed sufficient for the campus to
move forward with planning a
stand-alone degree program.
· UNCG
was not required to submit a new
request to establish a Ph.D. in
Nanoscience. The joint request
submitted by UNCG and NCA&T, which
had already been recommended for
approval by the UNC Graduate
Council, was deemed sufficient for
Board consideration. The Board
of Governors concurred with that
determination in approving the
establishment of the program.

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. |

Unlike land grant cross-town
historical Black NCA&T with strong
programs in engineering offering
Nanoscience constituted a
Substantive Change as defined by
SACS from previous approved circular
at historical white women UNCG with
strong programs in liberal Arts.

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. |

”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
