During this panel session, instructors of different types of integrated courses will discuss with the participants how to prepare students for success in a complex world through interdisciplinary education that is at the same time generous, flexible, and rigorous. Universities are typically organized by discipline with faculty that are highly specialized in their own individual areas. While students may initially explore various subjects, the majority eventually settle on a single discipline, which prevents students from having a truly integrated educational experience. This academic compartmentalization inhibits interaction between fields and does not prepare students for their professional lives which increasingly require working collaboratively across disciplines. The challenge we are facing in academia is how to foster interdisciplinarity while honoring disciplinary expertise, needed to work out complex problems. Enter collaborative teaching and blended courses. Team-taught integrated courses demonstrate how students and faculty from different disciplines can learn to approach questions in unique ways, value the input of others and work cooperatively to find complex solutions. The panel will discuss various approaches to integrated teaching that gently encourage students to look beyond their disciplinary boundaries and experience the power of interdisciplinary work. The panelists will then encourage attendees to join the discussion sharing their experiences with integrated teaching.
