Have you been to TED.com?  This is a great site with great information. Astronaut Mae Jemison speaks with passion about her belief in teaching arts and sciences together.

“Mae Jemison is a poster child for an education that combines arts and sciences. As she says, “I always knew I’d go to space.” Trained as an engineer, Jemison is a medical doctor, and she practiced in LA before becoming the Peace Corps’ Medical Officer for Sierra Leone and Liberia. While running that effort, she researched Hepatitis B, schistosomaisis and rabies with the CDC and NIH.”
