| Objective [Heading] | oef_ObjectiveHeading | Investment objective | ||||||
| Objective, Primary [Text Block] | oef_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock | The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, primarily from equity securities of medium-sized domestic companies. |
||||||
| Expense Heading [Optional Text] | oef_ExpenseHeading | Fees and expenses | ||||||
| Expense Narrative [Text Block] | oef_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock | The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, when buying or selling shares of the Fund, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Fund or in other Nuveen mutual funds. More information about these and other discounts, as well as eligibility requirements for each share class, is available from your financial advisor and in “How You Can Buy and Sell Shares” on page 119 of the Fund’s Prospectus and “Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares” on page 106 of the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. In addition, more information about sales charge discounts and waivers for purchases of shares through specific financial intermediaries is set forth in the appendix to the Fund’s Prospectus entitled “Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries.” |

| Portfolio Turnover [Heading] | oef_PortfolioTurnoverHeading | Portfolio turnover | ||||||
| Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | oef_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, as applicable, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 28% of the average value of its portfolio. |

| Expense Example [Heading] | oef_ExpenseExampleHeading | Example | ||||||
| Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] | oef_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock | This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses, before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, remain the same. The example assumes that the Fund’s fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements will each remain in place for the duration noted in the table above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: |
||||||
| Strategy [Heading] | oef_StrategyHeading | Principal investment strategies | ||||||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | oef_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of mid-capitalization value companies. The Fund will invest primarily in equity securities of medium-sized domestic companies, as defined by the Fund’s benchmark index, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, that the Fund’s sub-adviser, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management”), believes appear undervalued by the market based on an evaluation of their potential worth. Mid-capitalization companies are those that have market capitalizations within the range of the companies in the Russell Midcap® Index. The market capitalization range is determined based on the companies in the index as of the last business day of the month in which the index was most recently reconstituted and may be updated to reflect any changes to the index composition and the market capitalization of companies in the index. Value companies are those that are constituents of at least one of the following indexes on the last business day of the month in which its most recent reconstitution was completed (as adjusted by changes to an index between reconstitutions): Russell 3000 Value Index, S&P Composite 1500®Value Index, MSCI World IMI Value Index. Nuveen Asset Management uses a variety of comparative valuation criteria to determine whether shares of a particular company might be undervalued, including analyses of historical valuations of the same security; valuations of comparable securities in the same sector or the overall market; various financial ratios such as stock price-to-earnings, stock price-to-book value, free cash flow, debt-to-capital and, to a lesser extent, dividend yield. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign investments. The Fund may also purchase and sell futures, options, swaps and other equity derivatives to carry out the Fund’s investment strategies. |

| Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] | oef_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading | Past performance | ||||||
| Performance Narrative [Text Block] | oef_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock | The following chart and table help illustrate some of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year. The bar chart shows the annual total returns of Class R6 of the Fund, before taxes, in each full calendar year for the last ten years. Because the expenses vary across share classes, the performance of Class R6 may vary from the other share classes. Below the bar chart are the best and worst returns of Class R6 for a calendar quarter during the full calendar-year periods covered by the bar chart. The performance table following the bar chart shows the Fund’s average annual total returns for Class R6, Class I, Premier Class, Retirement Class and Class A over the applicable one-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2025, and how those returns compare to those of the Fund’s broad-based securities market index and benchmark index. For periods prior to August 1, 2026, Teachers Advisors, LLC (“Advisors”) served as investment adviser to the Fund. After-tax performance is shown only for Class R6 shares, and after-tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary from the after-tax returns presented for Class R6 shares. The returns shown below reflect previous agreements by Advisors, the Fund’s prior investment adviser, to waive, reimburse and/or compensate the Fund for certain fees, expenses and/or costs. Without these reductions and/or compensation, the returns of the Fund would have been lower. Past performance of the Fund (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. The broad-based securities market index and benchmark index listed below are unmanaged, and you cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the broad-based securities market index and benchmark index reflect no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Principal investment risks | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | You could lose money over short or long periods by investing in this Fund. An investment in the Fund, due to the nature of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, typically is subject to the following principal investment risks: |

| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Risk Lose Money [Member] | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | You could lose money over short or long periods by investing in this Fund. | ||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Market Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Market Risk—The risk that market prices of portfolio investments held by the Fund may fluctuate rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including responses to government actions or interventions, or changing economic, political or market conditions. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or sector of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Such conditions may add significantly to the risk of volatility in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s shares and adversely affect the Fund and its investments. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one or more related sectors or industries, which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such sectors or industries. |
||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Issuer Risk (often called Financial Risk) | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Issuer Risk (often called Financial Risk)—The risk that an issuer’s earnings prospects, credit rating and overall financial position will deteriorate, causing a decline in the value of the issuer’s financial instruments over short or extended periods of time. |
||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Mid-Cap Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Mid-Cap Risk—The risk that the stocks of mid-capitalization companies often experience greater price volatility, lower trading volume and lower overall liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies. |
||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Small-Cap Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Small-Cap Risk—The risk that the stocks of small-capitalization companies often experience greater price volatility than large- or mid-sized companies because small-cap companies are often newer or less established than larger companies and are likely to have more limited resources, products and markets. Securities of small-cap companies often have lower overall liquidity than securities of larger companies as a result of there being a smaller market for their securities, which can have an adverse effect on the pricing of these securities and on the ability to sell these securities when Nuveen Asset Management deems it appropriate. |
||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Style Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Style Risk—The risk that use of a particular investing style (such as growth or value investing) may fall out of favor in the marketplace for various periods of time and result in underperformance relative to the broader market sector or significant declines in the value of the Fund’s portfolio investments. |
||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Risks of Value Investing | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Risks of Value Investing—Securities believed to be undervalued are subject to the risks that the issuer’s potential business prospects are not realized, its potential value is never recognized by the market or the securities were appropriately priced when acquired. As a result, value stocks can be overpriced when acquired and may not perform as anticipated. |
||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Active Management Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Active Management Risk—The risk that Nuveen Asset Management’s strategy, investment selection or trading execution may cause the Fund to underperform relative to the benchmark index or mutual funds with similar investment objectives and/or strategies and may not produce the desired results or expected returns. |
||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Foreign Investment Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Foreign Investment Risk—Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, currency, market or economic developments as well as armed conflicts and can result in greater price volatility and perform differently from financial instruments of U.S. issuers. This risk may be heightened in emerging or developing markets. Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. Foreign investments may also be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections and less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards. Changes in the value of foreign currencies may make the return on an investment increase or decrease, unrelated to the quality or performance of the investment itself. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other restrictions by the United States or other governments may also negatively impact the Fund’s investments. Economic sanctions and other similar governmental actions or developments could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell certain foreign securities or groups of foreign securities, and/or thus may make the Fund’s investments in such securities less liquid (or illiquid) or more difficult to value. The type and severity of sanctions and other measures that may be imposed could vary broadly in scope, and their impact is impossible to predict. |
||||||
| Nuveen Mid Cap Value Fund | Derivatives Risk | ||||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | · Derivatives Risk—The risks associated with investing in derivatives, including futures, options, swaps, and other equity derivative instruments, and other similar instruments (referred to collectively as “derivatives”) may be different and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in the underlying securities and other instruments, and include leverage risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and legal risk. The Fund may use more complex derivatives that might be particularly susceptible to liquidity, credit and counterparty risk. When investing in derivatives, the Fund may lose more than the principal amount invested. Derivatives used for hedging or risk management may not operate as intended, may expose the Fund to other risks, and may be insufficient to protect the Fund from the risks they were intended to hedge. |
