Starfleet Academy is where all the personnel of Starfleet are trained. It is a highly prestigious institution for all fields of education.

It provides a rather comprehensive range of subjects, including the following:

  • Ancient Philosophies
  • Anthropology
  • Archaeology
  • Astrotheory
  • Astrophysics
  • Basic Warp Design
  • Biochemistry
  • Creative Writing
  • Early Starfleet History
  • Elementary Temporal Mechanics
  • Exobiology
  • Exochemistry
  • Earth History
  • Interspecies Ethics
  • Interspecies Protocol
  • Klingon Physiology
  • Organic Chemistry
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Robotics
  • Stellar Cartography
  • Survival Strategies
  • Tactical Analysis
  • Temporal Mechanics
  • Turn-of-the-Millennium Technology
  • Transporter Theory
  • Xenobiology

The course selection backs official rhetoric about Starfleet being non-military. William Riker studied galactic cultures and diplomacy at the Academy to further his one-time goal of commanding his own ship.[1] Wesley Crusher studies several subjects -- such as Latin and Creative Writing -- which have little connection to his primary Engineering curriculum.
