Abstract
Attempts to integrate psychology within an interdisciplinary undergraduate program are relatively rare; most have been at liberal arts colleges. In th is article, we describe a multidisciplinary-multicultural undergraduate pro gram at a Research I university. The program, the Modern Studies Curriculum , integrates psychology with other disciplines in 8 courses during the Ist and 2nd years in ways that are consistent with the recent report by the Car negie Foundation (1998) on undergraduate education at research universities . We describe the integration of psychology into various courses that compr ise the program.
