"It is predicted that nano scale science will change the nature of almost every human-made product this century. This field has great potential applications in materials, medicine, electronics, optics, data storage, advanced manufacturing, environment, energy, and national security.

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 degrees. |
Notwithstanding May
2007 UNC Board of Governors
established alleged Joint School of
Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, at
bogus NC A&T / UNCG Joint Millennial
Campus, UNCG affiliate, Gateway
University Research Park, Inc. to
offer (a) joint interdisciplinary
Ph.D. degree and (a) joint
professional science master's
degree.

The
University of North Carolina Board
of Governors authorized PWI UNC
Greensboro Nanoscience MS on
November 13, 2009 and PhD program

requiring UNCG students take
relevant courses at the School of
Engineering at North Carolina A&T
University and be able to work on
collaborative projects with faculty
