The Extended Accelerator Program (EAP) combines language, culture and academics to give students a deep understanding of life in and out of the American classroom and includes personalized English-language instruction and tutoring.

Students in the Extended Accelerator receive:

• A contextual curriculum that mixes language, culture and academics
• Exclusive access to a course focusing on life in the U.S. and in the local community
• A full year’s worth of college credits
• Extensive English-language tutoring, academic advising and student support
• Personalized English-language support specific to the classes they take

The University of Utah Department of Ballet offers rigorous training, multiple performance opportunities and excellent academic courses for the ballet major. The minimum requirement for graduation is 122 credit hours, of which 36 to 39 hours must be fulfilled in general education courses.

The ballet major is a restricted major and admission is highly competitive. Female students usually enter the program with six to nine years of ballet technique and pointe work. Women are strongly advised to have had at least four years of pointe work. Male students traditionally have studied for less time.
