Ask former UNC President Erskine Bowles, Dr. Alan Mabe, Dr. Alton Thompson,  Dr. David H. Perrin, Dr. James Ryan and NC A&T Chancellor Harold Martin, where are NC A&T Nanoscience degrees?
 
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.
The PhD program will include a core interdisciplinary curriculum that provides a thorough background in the principles and tools required for a research career in nanoscience.

UNC Graduate Council recommends authorization of the joint PhD
 

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.
 
Notwithstanding  the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), categorized Nanoscience as CIP 15.1601 Engineering Technologies and Engineering-Related Fields.  UNC General Administration applied  CIP 40.9999 (Physical Science) to UNCG academic offering . Note UNC-G has a School of  Arts and Science.
 Note Fall 2005 UNC Presidency transition from President Molly Broad  to Erskine Bowles.
 

Erskine Bowles UNC General Administration categorizing Nanoscience Ph.D. as a Physical Science; examining UNC Greensboro curricula for similar Physical Science Ph.D.  programs determined:

UNC Greensboro offer  no  similar Ph.D. programs in 40 CIP category.

 
Alleged, Dr. Belle Wheelan SACS Commission on Colleges, letter dated June 25, 2010 to Dr. Alton Thompson (NCA&T) and Dr. David H. Perrin (UNCG), "We approve the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in Nanoscience, shall include them within the scope of accreditation previously granted to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro”
 
 
The degree authorization process progression calls for a constituent institutions to submit  Request to Establish a New Degree to UNC System General Administration which serves under the President. The General Administration submits constituents request to Planning Committee.  If the Planning Committee approved the Request it is taken to the full Board of Governors for a decision to authorized. 
 
 

 
With Harold Martin, former Erskine Bowles administrator,  as Chancellor of  NC A&T,  Erskine Bowles President of UNC system , and Alan Mabe Vice President of Academic Affairs , complicity with the BOG Planning Committee, with Triad affiliations, used  authority to make recommendation to the full Board of Governors  to award  UNC Greensboro Nanoscience degrees, alleged in conjunction with the Joint School of Nanoscience and Engineering excluding NC A&T.
