In this article, I describe how the. teaching of psychology at an urban community college has been integrated with other disciplines in coordinated studies programs. These programs are based on a collaborafive-learning model that defines the classroom as a community of learers concerned with the interconnectedness of ideas and events. One such program, The Power of Myth, is described in detail. Students participating in this program reported increased curiosity about the world, improved abilities to work in groups, greater understanding of other cultures, and more self-awareness. Faculty teammates found more satisfaction teaching their subjects in a coordinated context than in isolated classes.
