We are in the midst of investigating this as well, for D23, stem-type kiddo who is highly academic, IF she chooses college and does not get sucked into the lure of company auditions later on. Sigh.
From what I have found, a lot can be learned from going in depth on websites focusing on course catalogs, looking for pointe levels, options for variations, frequency of ballet, as well as reading about any Ballet “clubs”(Princeton university ballet, Columbia ballet collaborative, etc) and delving into those websites and videos. Some of these sites will mention where the "company " takes extra classes off campus etc. So far, it seems that Columbia/Barnard, Harvard (and MIT as they can join Harvard Ballet company), Princeton, Smith, Duke, and Vassar are all on our list as fitting the non-dance major but wants almost daily ballet even if some has to be nearby campus.

I love other people’s new ideas for programs I did not know were potentially a fit!
