EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
​
Northeastern’s distinctive educational approach integrates rigorous classroom study with real-world experiences to create a powerful way to learn. As a result, our graduates excel at managing their lives and careers and contribute to the world.
​
Northeastern students access a network that includes more than 3,300 employers in 136 countries.
OUR STORY
We help students work virtually with a supervisor at a sponsoring business or nonprofit, completing a challenging assignment over a six-week period. These projects not only benefit learners but bolster Northeastern’s position as the global leader in experiential learning for all students.
​
Students apply skills to solve problems with real parameters and constraints that deliver real value to project sponsors. Projects are scoped and evaluated by sponsors with assistance from the XN staff, who provide administrative and operational support for the academic programs and the student participants.
