academically

In scholarly fashion

Academically relates to education, scholarship, or formal study: She excelled academically but struggled socially.

It can mean in theory rather than practice: Academically interesting but practically useless.

The word often contrasts intellectual pursuits with other domains—athletics, social skills, real-world application: The point is academically moot now that they've made their decision.
