Offers a multidisciplinary exploration into the science of creativity. Many would agree that creativity is a cornerstone of human culture and innovation. But what is creativity, and how can humans cultivate it in life? Topics include idea generation and evaluation, problem solving and insight, psychometric measurements of creativity, the role of creativity in the arts and in human resource management, and the complex relationships between creativity and mental health. Synthesizing a variety of perspectives in creativity research, offers students an opportunity to train themselves to become more creative thinkers and practitioners.
