Despite numerous studies on these aspects of education, concrete examples integrating all three elements are scarce. Chemistry and Art, a course developed at Brown University, addresses this gap by integrating all three methodologies into one practical educational setting. Utilizing the Karen T. Romer Undergraduate Teaching and Research Award (UTRA) Program, this student-centered course involves students as co-creators, enhancing the curriculum through their unique perspectives. Students also lead original research, the outcomes of which directly translate into teaching materials for the course. The course employs a case study method, traditionally used in professional schools, to engage students with real-life cases, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This method includes hands-on laboratory activities linked to lecture content, enriching the learning experience through active, student-led discovery and facilitated research. Taught by faculty from diverse disciplines, the Chemistry and Art course and its development demonstrate the positive impact of combining methodologies on student engagement and educational outcomes. Despite its success, methods used to create this course face challenges such as scalability in larger classes and resource limitations for studentled research. Future directions include developing comprehensive assessment tools, scaling activities for larger groups, and expanding interdisciplinary outreach. This adaptable model can be implemented in various undergraduate institutions, promoting student-led outcomes, collaboration, interdisciplinary learning, and effective integration of case studies into courses.  \nKeywords: Collaborative Education, Student-led Learning, Interdisciplinary Methodologies, Case Study Approach, Higher Education  \nIntroduction  \nIn the past decade, collaborative, student-led, and interdisciplinary education have been extensively discussed in education literature (Bada, & Olusegun, 2015; Shah, 2019; Cook‐Sather, & Felten, 2017; Cook‐Sather, [et. al](et. al)., 2023; Bovill, 2020; Marquis, et al., 2021; Bovill, & Bulley, 2011; Bengtson, [et. al](et. al)., 2017; Brooman, [et. al. 2015](et. al. 2015); Tien, [et. al](et. al).,  \n2002; Iversen, [et. al](et. al)., 2015; Lubicz-Nawrocka, & Bovill, 2021; Wright, 2011; Rutherford, 2020; Kong, 2021; Wan, 2023; Chettiparamb, 2007; Dym, [et. al](et. al)., 2005; James Jacob, 2015; Ivanitskaya, [et. al](et. al)., 2002; Ye, & Xu, 2023; McDermott, [et. al](et. al)., 2014; Crowe, [et. al](et. al)., 2011;  \nGarvin, 2003; Cliff, & Wright, 1996; Yadav, [et. al](et. al)., 2010; Dori, [et. al](et. al)., 2003; Yadav, & Beckerman, 2009). However, there has been no concrete example that integrates all  \n∗Undergraduate Student, Department of Chemistry, Brown University, USA.  \n±Distinguished Senior Lecturer, Department of Chemistry, Brown University, USA.  \nthree elements into one practical model. No classes or practices effectively combine these approaches in a unified model, and there is a lack of case studies demonstrating such integration.  \nOur objective is to create a class that integrates collaborative, student-led, and interdisciplinary practices into a cohesive educational model. The integration of these methodologies in a course will enhance students' ability to tackle real-world challenges effectively and think beyond traditional classroom settings. We propose that this combined approach will result in a highly effective course that significantly benefits students by equipping them with practical skills and experiences applicable to real-world situations.
