In 2402 will offically began classes at the [[Starfleet Academy]].  He had chosen to go there rather then going to law school.  He had an easy time adapting to life there, though, some of the current Academy football players were a little ticked seeing as Will as a member of the University of Oklahoma football team had beaten them in the Earth Collegiate Championship game the year before. Will also took law classes through a special correspondence outreach program offered by the University of Oklahoma to Starfleet cadets and Officers in the obtaining of post graduate degrees. Will took the classes in simulated environments at nights, supervised by an outreach instructor, a long with other students in a similar program. At the time he finished the academy, he had finished most of his course work but decided to pursue the ship career instead.

While at the academy his specialized in ship piloting systems, transporters and general operations.  He also joined the debate team, and showed he was a good asset to them as he was named a captain his juior and senior years.  He helped in capturing two Earth Collegiate Championships with them, as well as one Federation Intercollegiate Championship.  He graduated number 15th in his class on Stardate 2406.05.15, he then took some advanced training classes and was shipped to his first duty station the USS Cochrane.
