By the end of this course, you will have acquired a toolkit of creative methods usable in a variety of contexts, from professional to personal, and across all disciplines, from more artistic endeavors to business applications.

Scientific study demonstrates that, like other skills, creative thinking can be enhanced. This course draws on the more than 60 years of research and practice in the field of creativity studies and creativity education.  This is applicable to faculty (who can inspire their students) and staff.
