Enrollment is now open for University of Nebraska-Lincoln Spring 2026 graduate courses. The spring semester starts Monday, Jan. 12, 2026, so you must be enrolled in MyRED by Jan. 11, 2026, to avoid late fees. If you have taken a course in the past year at UNL and have not graduated, use the instructions for how to enroll in MyRED. If it has been longer than three semesters or you recently graduated, please email scimath@unl.edu for further instructions.
The UNL Department of Mathematics is a national leader with respect to offering opportunities for professional growth for math teachers. For the Spring 2026 semester, the department is offering two online courses that have been designed with mathematics teachers and the work they do in mind. Over the past 15 years, more than 450 math teachers have earned their master’s degrees, making UNL a true leader with respect to providing opportunities for mathematics teachers.
This spring, the UNL math department is offering two online courses:
- MATH 807T: Using Math to Understand Our World
This course will examine the mathematics underlying several socially relevant questions from a variety of academic disciplines. Mathematical models of problems will be constructed and studied using a variety of topics and basic skills in algebra, functions, statistics and probability. - MATH 893: (Seminar in Mathematics) Analysis for High School Teachers
The purpose of this course is to understand the concepts that underlie the development of real analysis. It will include explorations of the motivations for and development of definitions and theorems that established a firm foundation for calculus. Emphasis will include connecting the key concepts of real analysis with the mathematical knowledge for teaching secondary mathematics. This course is ideal for teachers who wish to teach dual-credit courses, especially calculus. For the Spring 2026 semester only, MATH 893 will replace MATH 814T, so if you planned to take MATH 814T, you should enroll in MATH 893 instead. Because Analysis for High School Teachers is a new course, enrollment is limited.
Check out the following featured TLTE course offerings:
- TEAC 936: Seminar in College Teaching: Developing a Humanizing Learning Centric Praxis
Open to all doctoral students from all disciplinesl; current and future graduate teaching assistants encouraged
Construct your answer to this course's essential question, How will I develop a learning-centric, humanizing praxis in my college teaching? by exploring and applying theories relevant to humanizing praxis (e.g., related to teaching, learning, development, trauma, oppression, complexity, decolonization, abolition, etc.). Course participants will experience learning-centric humanizing praxis as students, examine theory snd empirical research related to learning-centric, humanizing praxis, practice applying ideas through co-teaching and develop full syllabi with teaching plans for implementing learning-cenric, humanixing praxes.

This doctoral dseminar will be centered around the following inquiry: How does education operate when democracy is no longer the organizing principle of public life, and what does that demand of scholars and teachers? Drawing on political theory, history, and pedagogical practice, we will explore how schools function as technologies of subject formation in illiberal and neoliberal times. Students will examine how propaganda, spectacle and privatization reshape education and will engage with pedagogical frameworks for counter-propaganda, misinformation bypassing and affective resistance.
