Problem-solving is a universal skill. Its applications aren’t limited to your job or what you’re working on in class. Maybe you need the best arrangement to hang up some pictures, are setting up a new TV or just want to find somewhere for your team to go for lunch. These are all examples of problems: situations that can be addressed. The question you then ask is: “How can I go about solving these problems?”
With the expertise of Dr. Brent Scholar from the ASU College of Integrative Arts and Sciences, the Problem-solving course will put the tools, knowledge and strategies of problem-solving directly into your hands. You’ll learn the fundamentals and get acquainted with your problem-solving toolkit. Then, you’ll directly apply them in hands-on scenarios.
Problem-solving is all about generating solutions. Problem-solving is a skill that anyone can learn and can be applied anywhere. Jump-start your problem-solving journey today!

Arizona State University has developed a new model for the American Research University, creating an institution that is committed to excellence, access and impact. ASU measures itself by those it includes, not by those it excludes. ASU pursues research that contributes to the public good, and ASU assumes major responsibility for the economic, social and cultural vitality of the communities that surround it.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
