The '''Academy''' is a training center for Colonial [[Warrior]]s and [[Protector]]s. 

Colonials students are trained in the roles for each profession. Captain [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] studied law codes at the Academy, despite graduating as a Warrior, a point that Apollo is reminded of when he asks to defend Lieutenant {{TOS|Starbuck}}'s innocence in the termination of Flight Sergeant [[Ortega]] ([[TOS]]: "[[Murder on the Rising Star]]").

The academy consists of two administrative bodies, the Core Faculty and Cadet Council.<ref>{{cite_book|last=Thurston|first=Robert|authorlink=Robert Thurston|authorlinkurl=|year=September 1979|title=[[The Tombs of Kobol|Battlestar Galactica 3: The Tombs of Kobol]]|publisher=Berkley Books|pages=9|location=|id=}}</ref><ref>As inferred by the terms used in the book, the Core Faculty is the body of teachers and administrators at the Academy, while the Cadet Counil may more than likely act as a student council.</ref>

As part of the training at the academy, students (who are called cadets) who aspire to be Warriors are given a various aptitude tests, including a test to find a hidden picture within a picture.<ref>{{cite_book|last=Thurston|first=Robert|authorlink=Robert Thurston|authorlinkurl=|year=September 1979|title=[[The Tombs of Kobol|Battlestar Galactica 3: The Tombs of Kobol]]|publisher=Berkley Books|pages=25|location=|id=}}</ref> 

Both [[Adama (TOS alternate)|Adama]] and [[Baltar (TOS alternate)|Baltar]] went through the Academy, although Baltar is expelled for attempting to reprogram a testing computer to improve his scores. Although officially, the reason for Baltar's leave was noted as being medical in nature.<ref>''Ibid.,'' 8-9.</ref>
