Is the M Miami, Michigan...? I don't think anyone attends PPU for their academic reputation. If you look at a schools Freshman academic stats you can get a sense of what their academic standard might be. Their dance program, however, has a tremendous reputation. That is really the basis for the kind of discussion you need to be having with yourself and your daughter. Many of these arts programs are wonderful training environments and can be a great fit for students even if their academic "bar" is set higher or lower than the student would otherwise select. For instance, there are kids at Carnegie Mellon whose talent got them in to a University that otherwise would never be reachable academically. Likewise you will find "A" students whose statistics are far higher than the average statistic but chose a school for its conservatory training. These students will only be taking a minimum number of academic classes and that was not the reason for being there. Have you been to visit? One of the other considerations might be the difference in physical environment. PPU is a city school and has no college campus feel-is that a plus or minus for your daughter? If she is going to college strictly to get great dance training PPU is a great choice.
