The Shadow Academy has, throughout its history, offered a variety of courses and degrees for members to study and complete. Previously, all completions were shown on a member's dossier, but under Headmaster Anshar this feature was removed. Before the 26 ABY Reformation, courses were divided amongst four campuses, but they are now organized into Department Halls headed by Professors. Degrees earned, however, do appear on a member's dossier ID Line. This list also includes those courses that have been removed from active service in the Shadow Academy, for reasons that can be found on the Academy website.
In 32 and 33 ABY, the layout of the Shadow Academy underwent a huge change, with numerous departments being closed down, created or renamed. The creation of the Journeyman Hall, during the reign of Headmaster Solari, significantly added to the number of courses on offer. His replacement, Headmaster Dacien Victae continued on in the same fashion, with numerous history and leadership courses being created during his time on the 'Lyspair Throne'.
In 34 ABY, Farrin Xies took over from his previous boss, Dacien Victae, reorganizing the Shadow Academy into a more compact form, requiring less overhead and a more consolidated faculty.
