Abstract:
Educators are constantly improving their curricula and teaching philosophies. What works for some students does not always work for others. The current essay documents and comments on educators’ attempts to teach community college students through Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS). To that end it defines IDS, argues for its pedagogical value, and provides ways to implement interdisciplinary coursework in the community college to help with student retention, build a sense of community, and augment skills for today’s workforce.
