In the meantime here is some quick insights about this California State University, Long Beach Dance Program from their website.
The Department of Dance at CSULB is a rigorous program that provides training in dance with a strong foundation in modern and ballet technique and choreography. Physical practice interfaces with theoretical study, placing dance in a historical, pedagogical, scientific, and cultural context. The varied degrees offered in the Department of Dance challenges challenge students to grow and contribute to society as artists and individuals. California State University, Long Beach was the first university within the California State University system to offer a B.A. in Dance degree. Today it is the only CSU campus to grant the Master of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts (professional degrees), as well as a Master of Arts degree specifically designed for dance educators. The Department of Dance has enjoyed steady growth since its inception in 1970, and has approximately 140 undergraduate dance majors, 15 M.A. candidates and 9 M.F.A. candidates. CSULB Dance is driven by the wealth of expertise of their faculty and staff. A highly valued group of staff and part-time faculty complete the picture by enhancing curricula in areas of performance and technique, choreography, design, research, technology, and teaching.
