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; and at least 21 hours in the proposed program area at the doctoral level.

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.

”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 OF NORTH CAROLINA PROGRAM DUPLICATION STUDY Submitted by James H.

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.

I have attached a revised version of the Request to Establish for the Professional Master of Science in Nanoscience. I have included the most recent update of the JSNN Management Agreement as well as revised figures on enrollment. I have also provided additional explanation to address questions that were asked during the disciplinary committee review on Wednesday. Please review and let me know if additional information or clarification is needed.

Also, similar revisions are needed for the Request to Establish the Ph.D. in Nanoscience. Should I send the latest version of that document to you as well? Thank you.

Amended and Restated Management Agreement

 
Pursuant Amended and Restated Management Agreement curriculum approval Process JSNN Dean Ryan alleged UNC Greensboro Revised Request to establish Nanoscience MS should have been submitted to UNC Greensboro for review and approval through established curricular approval process, not submitted directly to UNC General Administration therefore unauthorized.
November 13, 2009
UNC Board of Governors authorizes the UNCG MS in Nanoscience based on the revised request submitted.  The summary that went to the Board can be viewed in the Planning Committee pre-meeting materials at this location: https://www.northcarolina.edu/bog/index.php.

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, to offer (a) joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and (a) joint professional science master's degree. 
Memorandum to Chief Academic Officers from Alan Mabe and Jim Sadler, Subject Restating the Academic program Planning and Evaluation Process dated September 21, 2009 proposed schedule for Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009 included entry NCA&TSU and UNCG [joint] M.S. in Nanoscience CIP 40.999).
 
 
Ala Mabe Memorandum dated March 18, 2010 to Members, Committee on Educational Planning, Policies and Programs, etc Subject Progress in Reviewing Degree Proposals indicated UNCG: [joint JSNN] M. S. in Nanoscience approved by BOG Nov. 2009], adding JSNN to the degree and excluding NCA&T.
January 8, 2010
UNC Board of Governors authorizes the UNCG PhD in Nanoscience based on the revised request submitted.  The summary that went to the Board can be viewed in the Planning Committee pre-meeting materials at this location: https://www.northcarolina.edu/bog/index.php.
With Harold Martin 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 used the authority to make recommendation to the BOG to award  UNC Greensboro Nanoscience degrees in conjunction with the Joint School of Nanoscience and Engineering excluding NC A&T.
 

When all of the occupations which will be affected by nanotechnology will require a BS in engineering with a broad, interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary approach; will require an understanding not only of electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, but biology, physics and chemistry as well.

Why is across-town Liberal Art UNC Greensboro with programs in music and nursing, requiring relevant courses be taken at the School of Engineering at North Carolina A&T University and will be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering”, except for unvarnished racism offering Nanotechnology degrees

JSNN Nanoscience/Nanoengineering degrees cost State $660,000 per degree

NCA&T academic programs, instructors, and research had to support the 44 UNC Greensboro Nanoscience degrees.  Unambiguous UNC Board of Governors and UNC General Administration exploited HBCU NC A&T Engineering circular and research to establish Nanoscience MS and  Ph.D. at cross-town white UNC Greensboro.
Beginning in 2012-2013 thru 2020-2021 the UNCG/NCA&T Nanoscience/Nanoengineering fund continuing budget has been 6.9 Million Dollars per year costing 55.2 million dollars, plus
an additional $10.8  million dollars for prior years for a total of $66 million dollars. The Programs produced 100 Nanoscience/Nanoengineering degrees at cost of $660,000 per degree.
producing 100 degrees costing.

The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) responsible for collecting and presenting statistical data and information for the nation; classifies Nanoscience and Nanoengineering as Nanotechnology CIP 15.1601: Engineering technologies and Engineering related fields.

PCG/UNC-NCCCS/UNC Interim report 3.doc/RB.SP.PC.CR.ATPCC.1/CC.14/10May05

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.

 
Southern Commission on Colleges Association complicit with UNC Board of  Governors white wash UNC Greensboro Nanoscience MS and PhD degrees authorizations in order for UNCG to accept students into UNCG's MS in Nanoscience program the next fall   link
