Subject: [RESADM-L] Dept of Ed Interpretation Question

I'm looking for some interpretive input on eligibility requirements for US
Dept of
Ed GAANN as referenced in 45CFR648.2.

(a) The Secretary awards grants to
the following:
(1) Any academic department of an
institution of higher education that
provides a course of study that-
(i) Leads to a graduate degree in an
area of national need; and
(ii) Has been in existence for at least
four years at the time of an application
for a grant under this part.

Would you interpret the above to mean existence of the Academic Department
for at least 4 years OR existence of the graduate degree program for at
least
4 years?

Thanks to all,
