Experiential Learning

A New Model of Education

Northeastern University has ushered in a new era of higher education, one that strongly contextualizes learning with real world challenges and data. 

At the Roux Institute, we put a strong focus on extending education outside the classroom and into the Maine community. We do this through the creation of custom courses that address and solve real issues in our community and economy, the training and upskilling of Maine’s workforce, embedding our students within our industry partners, and tech-forward learning programs that keep our graduates in demand in a modern economy.

Co-Op

By alternating semesters of academic study with periods of full-time work, students can transition between academic and professional contexts. 

Experiential Network

Inside the classroom, companies and organizations have the opportunity to join our Experiential Network (XN) and collaborate with Northeastern to tackle specific business challenges. 

Custom Learning

Northeastern offers a full catalogue of customized learning courses that address pressing industry needs and help propel businesses forward.

Non-Degree Programs

In an effort to bridge the gap between education and industry, the Roux Institute develops non-degree programs that allow grads to explore careers in the life sciences by placing them in healthcare jobs across Maine.
