With increasing specialization, most academic disciplines have become highly compartmentalized. Numerous organizations in higher education strongly encourage interdisciplinary collaboration at the faculty and student level. The purposes of this article are (a) to provide a conceptual framework for explaining how and why an interdisciplinary case study method is a catalyst for the development of students and faculty; (b) to document the conception, planning, organizing, and results of an interdisciplinary case study workshop; and (c) to provide recommendations to encourage others who might want to apply this model to their own interdisciplinary efforts.KEY WORDS: interdisciplinary; case study; problem based learning; experiential learning.Over time and with increasing specialization, most academic disciplines have developed "hierarchical specialty units, often called silo, stovepipe or chimney organizations"
