From 1928/29 to 1944, there were two departments: the philosophy department and the theology department. The deans of the philosophy department were: Fr. Dr. Tyt Myshkovskyi (1930/31 and 1933/34) and Fr. Dr. Vasyl Laba (1936/37 and 1937/38). The deans of the theology department were Fr. Dr. Josyf Slipyj (1932/33, 1936/37 and 1941/44) and Fr. Dr. Mykola Konrad (1937/38 and 1938/39). The faculty in the academy changed every three years.

From 1928/29 to 1944, there were 6,040 regular students and 63 special status students in the academy, among which 538 regular and 5 special status students graduated.

From 1968 to 1973, there were four departments at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Rome: the theology department, the department of philosophy and humanities, the department of mathematics and sciences, and the department of law and social sciences. 45 students studied at the theology department, 31 regular and 31 special status students at the department of philosophy and humanities, and 10 special status students at the mathematics and sciences department.

In 1990, the activity of the seminary resumed with the blessing of Metropolitan Volodymyr Sterniuk. Unfortunately, restitution of the historic buildings of the seminary in Lviv was impossible, so Myroslav Ivan Cardinal Lubachivsky in 1991 blessed the new location for the Theological Seminary in the village of Rudno near Lviv. In order to create acceptable conditions for living and studying, the seminarians had to renovate the dilapidated premises of the former Pioneer summer camp by themselves.

In September 1994, when the Theological Academy re-opened, the theology and philosophy department resumed activity. The five-year curriculum covers a range of theological, philosophical and historical disciplines. In 1998, it received accreditation from the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome. Today, the academy has the following departments: theology, philosophy and social sciences, classical languages, English, and humanities. In 2001, the academy opened a department of history.
