UNL offers four two-week graduate courses for science teachers
Take advantage of web conferencing for online courses by enrolling in one of our four graduate courses for science teachers this summer through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Nebraska Math and Science Summer Institutes. Visit our course catalog here: https://scimath.unl.edu/nmssi/2021/course-catalog
We encourage teachers to “learn in place” again, as travel is not necessary for taking NMSSI courses in Summer 2021. As follows are the courses available in science. Times listed are approximate, as the live, whole-group hours on Zoom will fall within that window of time. We recommend you save the rest of the listed time for working in small groups on homework.
* SOCI 898: Using Systems Thinking in Network Science, June 7-18, 8 a.m.-noon (full tuition fellowships will be available for this course from a grant)
* GEOS 898: Weather, Climate and Climate Change, June 21-July 2, 1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m.
* ASTR 891: Phenomena of Planetary Satellites, June 21-July 2, M-F, 10 a.m.-noon and 1-3 p.m.
* BIOS 897: Evolution in Action, July 5-16, M-F, afternoons live on Zoom for 2-4 hours each day
Limited funding for science course fellowships are available. NMSSI Fellowships, typically $300 per course, can further reduce the cost of one web conferencing course to $590.15*. The fellowship application is now open at: https://go.unl.edu/scimathapply. Start by creating an account on our CSMCE Application Portal.
