Survival Strategies was a course offered at Starfleet Academy.

In the 23rd century, Cadets Christopher Pike, Una Chin-Riley, and Spock completed this course, earning a grade of "A+". (DIS: "Brother"; SNW: "Ad Astra per Aspera", "Among the Lotus Eaters")

In the 2360s its instructors included Admiral Owen Paris and Professor Zakarian.

Zakarian taught the course to future USS Voyager crewmembers Harry Kim and B'Elanna Torres. He was known to Torres as "old Sneezy" for his many allergies, and later claimed "to know a few things that old Sneezy didn't teach." (VOY: "Caretaker")

The course was also taken by Tom Paris. He received a B- with his father as the instructor, proving Admiral Paris played no favorites with his son. (VOY: "Parturition")

Chakotay also took the course and years later remembered surprise tactical simulations which involved "getting dropped off in the woods with no chance to prepare." (VOY: "Displaced")
