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

 ”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

UNC General Administration responded to a
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.

Wheelan alleged letter approval of UNCG M.S. and Ph.D.
degree programs in Nanoscience; North and South Campus
as instruction sites for the two institutions for
offering 50% or more of a program’s credits. |
| |
| Alleged Dr.
Alton Thomas and David H. Perrin signed
transmittal to Dr. Belle Wheelan, President, COC
dated May 24, 2010, your letter dated
December 16, 2009, you stated that UNCG and
NCA&T had demonstrated compliance with the
Commission’s Joint Curricular Ventures. This
Substantive Change Prospectus provides
additional information about the Joint School of
Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) of North
Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T) and the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro
(UNCG), as requested during the April 20, 2010
(10:00 a.m.) conference call with the SACS staff
(Drs. Sarah Armstrong, Tom Benberg and Marcy
Stoll) and the JSNN, NC A&T and UNCG contacts.
These institutions are respectfully seeking : |
| |
- approval for
UNCG to initiate the PhD and MS in
Nanoscience on the South Campus of Gateway
University Park in fall 2010;
- a
determination of whether the MS and PhD in
Nanoengineering will represent a substantive
change for NC A&T, and
- recognition
of the South Campus of Gateway University
Park as a non-contiguous part of both
campuses rather than as an off-campus site.
|
|
The address where we hope to offer the MS and
Ph.D. in Nanoscience is:
|
South Campus,
Gateway University Research Park
2901 E. Lee Street
Greensboro, NC 27401-4904
|
|
The information included in the
enclosed full prospectus supplements the updated
management agreement sent to you on August 5,
2009. The University of North Carolina Board
of Governors approved the establishment of the
MS in Nanoscience on November 13, 2009, and the
establishment of the Ph.D. program in
Nanoscience on January 8, 2010. ..we have
informed UNC General Administration that we are
moving forward with our plans to offer these
programs in fall semester 2010 (classes commence
on August 16). Approval to do so from SACS
Commission on Colleges is the last necessary
step in this process. |

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), thank them for letter dated May 24, 2010 and
prospectus for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
nanoscience, a part of the curriculum sponsored by the
joint venture of the two institutions housed in the
Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN)
at two off-campus instructional sites:
|
South Campus, Gateway University Research

Nanotechnology
is the investigation fabrication and characterization of
matter structure at dimensions below 100 mm. and is, by
its very nature interdisciplinary.
A management agreement stipulated
organizational principles, approaches, and protocols has
been formulated and executed by the chancellors of the
two partner institutions. JSNN has two departments: The
Department of Nanoscience at UNCG and the Department of
Nanoengineering at NCA&T. Nanoscience faculty and staff
will be UNCG employee and Nanoscience students will be
UNCG students. Nanoengineering faculty and staff will be
NCA&T employees. UNCG will award nanoscience degrees;
NCA&T will award the Nanoengineering degrees. The
nanoscience programs will begin August 16, 2010. The
M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in nanoengineering will
begin fall 2012.
Instructional delivery
will be traditional classroom delivery. The curriculum
and student learning outcomes for the M.S. and Ph.D.
degree in nanoscience appear appropriate with 33 hours
required for the master's degree and a minimum of 60
hours, a qualifying exam, and a dissertation required
for the Ph.D. degree.
"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”
“We
also approve the two sites listed above as off-campus
instructional sites for the two institutions for
offering 50% or more of a program’s credits.”
Since
NC A&T offers approved master's degrees in Civil
Engineering, Chemistry, Biology, Industrial Systems &
System Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, Computer Science, Chemical Engineering,
Physics, Computation Science and Engineering, as well as
doctoral degrees in Energy and Environmental Systems
Engineering, Computational Science and Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and
Industrial and Systems Engineering, the proposed
programs do not appear to be significant departures from
the approved curriculum of NC A&T. We accept the
notification for the programs and require no additional
information from you. |
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE FOR ACCREDITED
INSTITUTIONS
OF THE COMMISSION ON COLLEGES |
Definition: Substantive change is a
significant modification or expansion of the
nature and scope of an accredited institution.
Under federal regulations, substantive change
includes:
|
- The addition
of courses or programs that represent a
significant departure, either in content or
method of delivery, from those that were
offered when the institution was last
evaluated
-
The establishment of an additional location
geographically apart from the main campus
at which
the institution offers at least 50 percent
of an educational program.
Entering into a collaborative academic
arrangement such as a dual degree program or
a joint
degree program with another institution

(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. |

Tom Benberg to Rebecca Adams July 08,
2010:
The June 25th letter addressed to you
was the first of two letters written on that
dated and it simply acknowledges your letter
of March 9th and confirms that a prospectus
for the South Campus instruction site is
under review. Later that same day, the June
25th letter to Drs. Thomas and Perrin was
written following conclusion of the
prospectus review. In that letter we have
approved: (a) the South and North Campuses
as instruction sites, and (b) the MS and
Ph.D. programs in Nanoscience for UNCG.
Additionally, we indicated that the proposed
programs for NCA&T do not represent
significant departures from existing
programming. Unambiguous alleged approval of
UNC Greensboro M.S. and Ph.D. degree
programs and two sites listed above as
off-campus instructional sites weren’t
