University of Texas Los Angeles Center (commonly known as the UTLA Center or UTLA Program) is an academic campus of the University of Texas at Austin located in the Burbank area of Los Angeles, California. The UTLA center is home to the ''Semester in Los Angeles'' study abroad program sponsored by University of Texas at Austin Moody College of Communication. The center is the only permanent campus for the University of Texas outside the state and is one of a handful of such entertainment focused programs with a base in Los Angeles offered by any university outside the area. ==History== The Semester in Los Angeles Program was founded in 2005 with a $500,000 donation from the Cain Foundation, an Austin based non profit. The program officially opened in the summer of 2005 and has seen increased enrollment in each subsequent semester. The program currently runs three times per year in both the fall and spring semesters to better coincide with the television production season in the fall, and to give students an opportunity to use the program as a stepping stone to make industry connections in their last semester, commonly before a spring graduation. In 2008, the program opened select spots to student from 20 other schools around the state including other members of the University of Texas System, Rice University, Southern Methodist University, Texas Christian University, as well as international students. The program will change from a first come first served basis, to a merit based system starting in the spring of 2011 due to increased demand. Students will be selected based on GPA standings and an essay of intent for what they hope to gain from the program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Los Angeles Center (University of Texas at Austin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
