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

the A&T SACS on-site reaffirmation visit (all went extremely
well) and discussed the 2008 JSNN substantive change

Belle Whelan’s office. Apparently, we faxed it from here to
Marcy for review and then forgot to follow up. Marcy
said that her office will fast track and monitor the
prospectus through SACS instead of having it in the queue in
the substantive change office, which could take weeks to
review, so that the UNCG plans to start the nanoscience
program in fall 2010 can proceed, emphasis added. |

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.

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. |

 ”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
