The most notable exception to the domination of Hermetics within the academy has long been Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Algonkian-Manitou Council. This was a founding influence, and many of the first and most influential schools and departments were founded within the science and technology divisions and by institutions with a strong technical and scientific focus the most notable of which is MIT&T in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Most academic programs were founded upon on the Hermetic Tradition, which has since fragmented into a number of distinct traditions but which all focus on a logical, research-based approach to the study and practice of magic. While UCLA is still a preeminent institution, many other universities have since become recognized in the field for their rigor and the scope and depth of contributions to practical and theoretical thaumaturgy. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) was the first university in the world to open a thaumaturgical studies program and was the first program to offer a Doctorate of Thaumaturgy (Th.D), the universally recognized terminal academic degree in the field. This has lead the AAAT to recognize and accredit programs conferring associate degrees. In the last two decades, community and technical colleges have opened their own thaumaturgy departments to assist in the training of practical magic skills for non-affiliated magicians and for mundanes eager to learn more about the science and art of magic in the Sixth World.

There are many ways for magicians to learn thaumaturgy (the practice of magic) in the Sixth World, but the most familiar and common method is to study at the academy, a method preferred and encouraged by the largest and most powerful sponsors of magical research and use (corporations, governments, magical orders). ![]()
