The '''Federation''''s primary academic and leadership center of higher education for its [[Star Fleet]] officer corps is based at San Francisco, [[Earth]], with additional campuses and annexes located on additional member worlds and stations.

	Founded in [[2161]] (the same year as the Federation), '''Star Fleet Academy''' bears the motto "Ex Astra, Scientia"—"From the stars, knowledge"—and its cadets wear a uniform similar to but distinctive from the current ~~Starfleet~~ design. A training program for enlisted personnel is also offered. The overall institution is overseen by a Star Fleet officer dubbed the "superintendent", generally an admiral, although the term "commandant" has been used in the past. It offers a full four-year curriculum of traditional higher learning as well as the cultural, scientific, personal development and strategic needs required for future Star Fleet officers. A newspaper, yearbook, sports teams (including wrestling, boxing, precision flying, track and field, and Pareses squares), and other extra-curricular activities typical of universities are all offered. Typically, cadets also undergo a field training assignment in their second year.

	Admission is open to any Federation citizen, or non-citizens by sponsorship of a Star Fleet command-level officer; minimum entry age for Humans is 16. Admission tests are required for final consideration but may be taken remotely; a psych test is also required and may be administered at satellite centers or any Star Fleet base upon arrangement.

	The report addressed not only the impact of the white paper on Star Fleet Academy, but also laid out an expansion program to include advanced degrees at the Masters and Doctorate levels. The primary conclusion of the report was that the current campus in San Francisco possessed inadequate facilities to absorb the projected increase in the numbers of students. Two alternatives were offered: move the campus to another location to accommodate more students or build additional Academy campuses and annexes in other locations. Increasing the number of campuses was Star Fleet's preferred solution.

Increasing the number of campuses was Star Fleet's preferred solution.

	The ramifications of these alternatives were hotly debated in the Federation Council. Earth, as a founding member of the UFP, wielded great influence on both councils (Federation and Security) and pushed to retain (and enlarge) one campus on the planet. Several other planets, recognizing the advantages of having their own Academy campus, formed a caucus to lobby for the establishment of more than one location. The acrimonious debate lasted ~~over a year~~, preventing the [[Defense Commissioner]] from taking any action.		The ramifications of these alternatives were hotly debated in the Federation Council.

Several other planets, recognizing the advantages of having their own Academy campus, formed a caucus to lobby for the establishment of more than one location. The acrimonious debate lasted several years, preventing the [[Defense Commissioner]] from taking any action.

	In [[2184]], the Security Council decided to authorize additional campus and facilities off-world of Earth. Initially, four additional campuses, each with a four-year undergraduate capacity of 2,400 students, would be constructed over the next five years; the original campus would retain the office of the Star Fleet Academy Commandant and would be enlarged to support an equal number of cadets. Additionally, the "home" campus on Earth would also host the graduate colleges offering the advanced degrees called for in the commandant's report. The member worlds of [[Arbaza]], [[Binderia]], [[Ithen]], and [[Monchezke]] were chosen for the new locations, with construction completed and the first class matriculating in [[2187]], [[2188]], 2188, and [[2190]] respectively.

	Star Fleet Academy was authorized by Article 52, paragraph 4, of the [[Articles of Federation]], signed in [[2161]]. As stated, the purpose of the academy was to train "officers and personnel for Star Fleet duty". An educational subcommittee of the [[Military Staff Committee]] to the [[Security Council]] was established early in [[2162]]. Its responsibilities were to develop a curriculum and recommend suitable faculty and staff members. An interim program (located on the training grounds for [[United Earth Starfleet]]) was instituted to provide personnel for Star Fleet until the developing one became operational. Graduates of established universities and colleges were screened and sent to San Francisco to attend transitional training. This six-month "boot camp" developed the prospective officers in a manner that would allow them to function within the parameters of a para-military organization.

	The subcommittee completed its work in [[2165]]. The academic program would produce a graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Military Operations ready for starship or base duty in all respects. After careful review and minor changes, the plan was approved by the Security Council in [[2166]]. Construction in support of the campus expansion began immediately and was completed in [[2168]]; students were accepted the same year. The initial program—under the aegis of [[Logistics Command]]—remained relatively static until [[2180]], when Star Fleet's [[Research & Development Command]] issued its famous white paper: "The Future Fleet: A Blueprint for the 23rd Century".
