This program partners with Elon University and Butler students will take classes with them, as well as, expanding their network.

Classes are one day per week and students intern during the other days. Students live at the Eddy (http://www.eddy.co/) and the classes take place at this co-working space (http://secondhome.io/location/hollywood/).

Students are responsible for finding their own internship, but Butler will assist with resources.
