been funded at an average
rate of $3-5 million per  year
in the area of nanoscience
and nanotechnology. Most of
the research in
nanoengineering is done in
the Center for Advanced
Materials and Smart
Structures (CAMSS). Several
Centers and projects are
under CAMSS, including the
NSF Center for Research
Excellence in Science and
Technology (CREST), the DoD
Center for Nanoscience, Nanomaterials
and Multifunctional

formal agreement to offer a
program of study drawing on two
or more disciplines that will
result in a student being
awarded an interdisciplinary

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. (E-mail 10.08. 2010) “ |

A degree program is a
program of study in a discipline
specialty that leads to a degree in
that distinct specialty area at a
particular level of instruction.
As a general rule, in order to be
considered for degree program
status, a course of study should
require at least 27 semester hours
in the proposed program area at the
undergraduate level; at least half
the number of hours required for the
degree at the master’s level; at
least 21 hours in the proposed
program area at the doctoral level. |

Doctor of Philosophy in Nanoscience
The PhD in Nanoscience requires a
minimum of 60 hours and is designed
to prepare students to take
positions in industrial,
governmental, or academic research
settings by providing a solid
background in Nanoscience theory and
experimental techniques through
course work and dissertation
research. |

Historical black North
Carolina A&T, as one of

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

land-grant institution,
is teaching agriculture

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. |

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

way so that we can accept students into

”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

NCA&T was 4th in
Funding in Nanotechnology
Research at North Carolina
Universities with $11 Million
Dollars between 2000-2005. UNC
at Greensboro 10th among the 11
institutions conducted $45,000
dollars of Nanotechnology
research between 2000 thru 2005. |
Nanotechnology is
Experimental
 NCA&T
State University has
been funded at an
average rate of $3-5
million per year in the
area of nanoscience and
nanotechnology. Most of
the research in
nanoengineering is done
in the Center
for Advanced Materials
and Smart Structures
(CAMSS). Several Centers
and projects are under
CAMSS, including the NSF
Center for Research
Excellence in Science
and Technology (CREST),
the DoD Center for
Nanoscience,
Nanomaterials and
Multifunctional
Materials (CNN) for
Homeland Security, the
NSF Nanoscale Science
and Engineering Center
(NSEC), the NSF project
on US/Europe Materials
Collaboration:
Self-Organized
Nanostructured Thin
Films for Catalysis, the
NSF project on Nanoscale
Interdisciplinary
Research Teams (NIRT),
the NSF Major Research
Instrumentation for
Nanoengineering
Research, and the NSF
Nanotechnology
Undergraduate Education
(NUE) program. CAMSS
also facilitates many of
the materials research
activities of the
NASA-National Institute
for Aerospace (NIA). In
addition, the Center for
Composite Materials
Research (CCMR) does
research in
nano-enhanced composite
materials and the Army
Center of Excellence for
Battlefield Capability
Enhancements (Flexible
Displays) does research
in material
characterization and
development of novel
displays. |

Unambiguous North
Carolina A&T State University was the
better host base on :
(1) number, location,
and mode of delivery of existing
programs,
(2) the relation of the program to the
distinctiveness of the campus and the
mission of the campus,
(3) the demand for the program in the
locality, region, or State as a whole,
(4) whether the program would create
unnecessary duplication,
(5) employment opportunities for program
graduates,
(6) faculty quality and number for
offering the program,
(7) the availability of campus resources
(library, space, labs, equipment,
external funding, and the like) to
support the program,
(8) the number and quality of
lower-level and cognate programs for
supporting the new program,
(9) impact of program decision on access
and affordability,
(10) the expected quality of the
proposed degree program, |
